The Director shall not accept requests for reconsideration without a declaration of service attached indicating that all other parties to the matter, as reflected on the official address record, have been served with the request for reconsideration.(f) If a party to a proceeding is adversely affected for the first time by the decision or determination after reconsideration, that party may then request further reconsideration of the original decision or determination after reconsideration.Cal.
