8 Sec. 703. Reconsideration of findings or determinations.
9 The claims adjudicator may reconsider his finding at any
10 time within thirteen weeks after the close of the benefit
11 year. He may reconsider his determination at any time within
12 one year after the last day of the week for which the
13 determination was made, except that if the issue is whether
14 or not, by reason of a back pay award made by any
15 governmental agency or pursuant to arbitration proceedings,
16 or by reason of a payment of wages wrongfully withheld by an
17 employing unit, an individual has received wages for a week
18 with respect to which he has received benefits or if the
19 issue is whether or not the claimant misstated his earnings
20 for the week, such reconsidered determination may be made at
21 any time within 5 two years after the last day of the week.
22 No finding or determination shall be reconsidered at any time
23 after appeal therefrom has been taken pursuant to the
24 provisions of Section 800, except where a case has been
25 remanded to the claims adjudicator by a Referee, the Director
26 or the Board of Review, and except, further, that if an issue
27 as to whether or not the claimant misstated his earnings is
28 newly discovered, the determination may be reconsidered after
29 and notwithstanding the fact that the decision upon the
30 appeal has become final. Notice of such reconsidered
31 determination or reconsidered finding shall be promptly given
