Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 22, div. 1, 1, div. 1, Prefatory Note
Division 1 contains two subdivisions: Subdivision 1. Director of Employment Development Subdivision 2. California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board
Both the Director and the Appeals Board promulgate regulations and rules dealing with the various sections of the Unemployment Insurance Code. Subdivision 1 includes only those regulations promulgated by the director; Subdivision 2 includes only those rules promulgated by the Appeals Board. Since the regulations of the Director or the rules of the Appeals Board may implement the sections of the Unemployment Insurance Code, reference should be made to both Subdivision 1 and Subdivision 2 for complete coverage.
The regulations of Subdivision 1 only are arranged in correlation with the headings, subheadings, and section numbers of the Unemployment Insurance Code. Each regulation promulgated by the Director has been related to the most nearly appropriate section of the Unemployment Insurance Code by giving the regulation a section number composed of the same number as that of the code section followed by a dash and thereafter by an arabic numeral (e.g., Unemployment Insurance Code Section: 320.5; Regulation Section: 320.5-1). Succeeding regulations relating to the same Code section are given suffix numbers in sequence (e.g., 320.5-2, 320.5-3, etc.). In those instances where the Unemployment Insurance Code section has alphabetical subdivisions and the regulation section pertains to a particular subdivision, the alphabetical designation is included as a part of the regulation section number (e.g., subdivision (c) of Unemployment Insurance Code Section 1253; Regulation Section: 1253(c)-1). Further regulations on such particular subdivision are numbered in sequence (e.g., 1253(c)-2, etc.).
The rules of Subdivision 2 are neither grouped nor numbered in any direct relationship to the Unemployment Insurance Code format. Instead, rules promulgated by the Appeals Board are arranged according to areas of subject matter. The subheadings "part" and "chapter" are omitted in Subdivision 2 and the grouping is directly by "articles" which identify the areas of subject matter. Numbering of the rules is by "sections" which are consecutive but allow for expansion gaps between articles. The number series is 5,000 et seq.
