Section 8 CSR 10-2.020 - Charges for Copies of Records, Reports, Decisions, Transcripts or Other Papers or Documents

PURPOSE: This rule establishes the method by which the director establishes the rate of charge for furnishing copies of documents to persons entitled to those records. This rule implements section 288.360.3, RSMo.

(1) Copies of any records, reports, decisions, transcripts or other papers or documents from the division's files may be furnished to any person entitled to inspect those records upon the payment to the division of the charges established by the director. These charges are established in January of each year. A pamphlet listing the charges and the required payment procedure is made available by the division to all interested persons.

(2) Exceptions to the provisions of section (1) of this rule are as follows:

(A) The division may choose, within its discretion, to provide records without payment to any party who is otherwise authorized to receive them and who qualifies for free records under 20 CFR Part 603 . In such cases, the division will make a finding that the information is necessary for the proper administration of the unemployment compensation program, that the disclosure involves no more than an incidental amount of staff time and no more than nominal processing costs, or that the division has a reciprocal agreement in place with the recipient, under which both parties receive approximately equal benefits; or

(B) In any proceeding pending before an appeals tribunal, claimants or their attorneys, upon request in writing to the appeals tribunal, shall be supplied with information from the division's records without charge to the extent necessary for the proper preparation and presentation of any claim for unemployment or any appeal.

(3) Checks or drafts covering payment of charges shall be made payable to the Division of Employment Security and on receipt shall be deposited in the Unemployment Compensation Administration Fund.
