Section 2720.7  Application for Electronic Data Transmission

a)         In lieu of receiving its Notice of Claim to Last Employing Unit and Last Employer or other Interested Party as a paper document sent through the U.S. Postal Service, an employing unit (or its authorized agent) may apply to have the document sent to it through electronic data transmission.

b)         The Director shall approve the application if the employing unit (or its authorized agent) agrees to:

1)         At its own expense, on a daily basis, retrieve its electronically transmitted data from the data center of CMS, designated by the Director;

2)         Accept the date shown on the Department's records as conclusive evidence of the date that the electronically transmitted data was sent to the data center;

3)         Demonstrate to the Director that the volume of claims filed against it justifies the cost to the Department of putting the employing unit on the electronic data transmission system.
