Rule 871-24.13 - [Effective 2/12/2025] Vacation pay procedure

(1) The Notice of Claim, Request for Federal Wage and Separation Information, and Request for Wage and Separation Information on Federal Employment Additional Claim, which are returned by the employer for the purpose of notification of vacation pay, will be used as notification to the department that vacation pay is applicable. Upon receipt of these forms, the department will:

a. Compare the amount of vacation reported by the employer with the computer record. If there are any discrepancies that would affect the claimant's eligibility for unemployment insurance benefits for any week claimed, the claimant will be afforded the opportunity to present facts and evidence. The department may then allow the employer to present additional facts and evidence. If the employer is afforded an opportunity to provide additional facts and evidence, the unemployment insurance representative will likewise afford the claimant the opportunity to present additional facts and evidence.

b. Consider all information submitted by the interested parties and issue to the employer and claimant the appropriate decision concerning the vacation pay. The department will then check the current status of the claim to ascertain if any weeks have been reported.

c. If the record shows that the claimant has not reported or claimed for some or all of the weeks indicated for the vacation period, take no further action on the weeks not claimed.

(2) The claimant is instructed to only report vacation pay applicable to the five workdays following the last date worked and that vacation pay designated by the employer in excess of the vacation pay the claimant reported may result in an overpayment of benefits.

This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 96.5(7).
