Rule 300-2-8-.05 - Reimbursable Employer Appeal to the Department of Amount Due(1) Pursuant to OCGA Section 34-8-159(4), the amount due specified in any bill to a reimbursable employer shall be conclusive on the organization unless the organization files an application with the Commissioner for a redetermination not later than fifteen (15) days after the bill was mailed to its last known address or otherwise delivered to it, setting forth the grounds to support a redetermination, including, for each disputed charge: the specific employee(s), the specific amount disputed for each employee, and the specific reason the charge for each employee is disputed. The Commissioner may reject an application for redetermination that fails to comply with the requirements of this paragraph. An application rejected by the Commissioner shall not toll the fifteen (15) day deadline to apply for reconsideration.(2) No employer shall have standing to contest reimbursable benefit charges made in accordance with a benefit eligibility determination, redetermination, or decision of an administrative hearing officer or Board of Review, except upon the ground that such benefit reimbursements were charged for an individual that was not in liable employment for the employer and only in the event that the employer was not a party to a determination, redetermination, or decision, or to any other proceedings in which liability for the individual was determined.(3) The Commissioner shall be afforded a reasonable amount of time to review the application (ordinarily ninety (90) days) and issue a redetermination. The reimbursable employer shall have an additional fifteen (15) days after the redetermination is mailed or delivered in which to appeal in writing for a hearing. If no such request is made within that time the redetermination becomes final and no further appeal is allowed.(4) Hearings on such appeals shall be conducted by the Office of State Administrative Hearings. The amount due as found by the decision of said office shall be conclusive on the organization and the Department of Labor unless the organization or the Department of Labor files an appeal to the Superior Court not later than fifteen (15) days after the written decision was mailed or otherwise delivered by the Office of State Administrative Hearings to the last known address of the organization and the Department of Labor.Ga.
