(a) For an employer to obtain relief of benefit charges, he or she shall complete the Department form entitled, "Notice to Employer of Monetary Determination and Request for Separation Information," and additional requests for separation information, where determined necessary by the Division. The separation information shall include a comprehensive statement of facts surrounding the separation from work. The Department form entitled, "Notice to Employer of Monetary Determination and Request for Separation Information," shall be completed and returned to the office that initiated the request within 10 calendar days after the date upon which the form requesting information was mailed. Any additional separation information requested by the Division shall be completed and returned to the office that initiated the request within 21 calendar days after the date upon which the request was mailed.

(b) Relief of benefit charges shall not be granted if either the Department form entitled, "Notice to Employer of Monetary Determination and Request for Separation Information" is not received by the Division or postmarked within 10 calendar days after the date upon which the form requesting information was mailed, or if any additional separation information requested by the Division is not received or postmarked within 21 calendar days after the date upon which the request for additional information was mailed, unless the employer shows good cause for failing to do so.

(c) For purposes of this section, "good cause" means any situation over which the employer did not have control and which was so compelling as to prevent the employer from providing information as required by the Division.
