Emergency Rule Concerning Appeals and Determining Good Cause

Justification

In accordance with§§ 8-72-102 and 24-4-103, Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S.), an emergency rule is adopted.  

The Division of Unemployment Insurance is responsible for administering Articles 70 through 82 of Title 8, C.R.S., connected to appeals and the determination of good cause.  The regulations for appeals and the determination of good cause are amended to facilitate a streamlined process for determining good cause as it relates to actions associated with appeals.

The immediate adoption of these rules is necessary to allow the Division of Unemployment Insurance to implement a process that conforms to federal requirements and allows the Division of Unemployment Insurance to better meet the performance measures, provide more efficient service to our customers and eliminate red tape, and process appeals in a timely manner.

This emergency rule is adopted and shall be effective August 14, 2017.
