RULE ANALYSIS
Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:
The purpose of this amendment is to correct errors in dates.
Summary of the rule or change:
The rule currently allows 30 days to request reinstatement of an appeal after the party withdrew the appeal. The Department only allows 10 days to insure delays do not prejudice other parties. Additionally the current rule states that a request to reinstate made after ten days will be considered a late appeal. That should be 30 days as no decision becomes final until 30 days after issuance. It is believed the number of days got transposed at some point. This just corrects it to comply with law and practice.

RULE TEXT
R994. Workforce Services, Unemployment Insurance.
R994-508. Appeal Procedures.
R994-508-307. Withdrawal of Appeal to the Board.
A party who has filed an appeal from a
decision of an ALJ may request that the appeal be withdrawn. The
request must explain the reasons for the withdrawal by making a
written statement to the Board explaining the reasons for the
withdrawal. The Board may deny such a request if the withdrawal of
the appeal jeopardizes the due process rights of any party. If the
Board grants the request, a decision dismissing the appeal will be
issued and the underlying decision will remain in effect. The
decision will inform the party of the right to reinstate the appeal
and the procedure for reinstating the appeal. A request to
reinstate an appeal under this subsection must be made within [30]ten days of the decision dismissing the appeal, must be in
writing, and must show cause for the request. A request to
reinstate made more than [ten]30 days after the dismissal will be treated as a late
appeal.
