Title of Regulation: 16VAC5-60. Benefits (amending 16VAC5-60-10, 16VAC5-60-20, 16VAC5-60-40).

Statutory Authority: §§ 60.2-11 and 60.2-623 of the Code of Virginia.

Public Hearing Information: No public hearing is currently scheduled.

Public Comment Deadline: January 4, 2023.

Effective Date: January 19, 2023.

Agency Contact: Jacob Shuford, Regulatory Coordinator, Virginia Employment Commission, 6606 West Broad Street, Henrico, VA 23230, telephone (804) 486-2360, FAX (804) 786-9034, or email jacob.shuford@vec.virginia.gov.

Basis: Statutory authority for the Virginia Employment Commission to promulgate such regulatory action is derived from §§ 60.2-113, 60.2-611, and 60.2-612 of the Code of Virginia, which authorize the commission to adopt, amend, or repeal regulations as necessary, including methods of procedure and changes in procedure in handling interstate claims.

Purpose: The commission must take all necessary steps to aid employment stabilization in the Commonwealth of Virginia under its duty to administer the Virginia Unemployment Compensation Act (§ 60.2-100 et seq. of the Code of Virginia) for the welfare of the citizens of the Commonwealth through unemployment benefits, the labor exchange system, job services programs, and solvency of the administered trust fund. Adapting to the shift away from brick and mortar local offices through an increased utilization of technology and stream lining of claim filing processes are necessary to gain efficiency in the pursuit of those mandated goals.

Rationale for Using Fast-Track Rulemaking Process: This action is noncontroversial because the changes revise timelines in the administration of unemployment benefits to reflect a best practice recommended by the U.S. Department of Labor and also update language to reflect current practices. None of the proposed changes have a significant economic effect other than updating the language for consistency with ongoing processes, practices, and procedures used by the agency. Additionally, no individual, business, or locality appears to be adversely affected by the proposed changes to definitions.

Substance: The amendments include (i) expanding how claims can be filed to include via telephone, Internet, or other means at the discretion of the commission; (ii) allowing for correspondence electronically or by mail; (iii) adjusting timeframes for different aspects of the claims process; (iv) allowing that a claim that was filed in error by an employer on behalf of a claimant may be canceled upon the claimant's written request and that all records of a canceled claim shall be deleted from the agency's automated benefits database; (v) providing that when the commission is at fault due to a representative of the commission giving inadequate or misleading information to an individual about filing a claim, the claim may be canceled; (vi) generally streamlining language; and (vii) updating forms required by the regulation.

Issues: The primary advantage to the public is the ability to file claims forms electronically and over the telephone as well as more clarity and up-to-date information, including removing language rendered obsolete by the modernization of processes, practices, and procedures used by the agency. There are no disadvantages to the public. The Commonwealth will benefit from the timely processing of claims and ensuring practices are accurately represented in the regulations, meet U.S. Department of Labor performance requirements, and align with the forms in use by the agency. There are no disadvantages to the agency.

Department of Planning and Budget's Economic Impact Analysis:

The Department of Planning and Budget (DPB) has analyzed the economic impact of this proposed regulation in accordance with § 2.2-4007.04 of the Code of Virginia (Code) and Executive Order 14 (as amended, July 16, 2018). The analysis presented represents DPB's best estimate of these economic impacts.¹ Summary of the Proposed Amendments to Regulation

The Virginia Employment Commission (VEC) proposes to revise several timelines in the administration of unemployment benefits and also update language to reflect current practices.

Background. VEC is charged with aiding employment stabilization under its duty to administer the Virginia Unemployment Compensation Act for the welfare of the citizens of the Commonwealth through unemployment benefits, the labor exchange system, job services programs, and solvency of the administered trust fund. This chapter of the regulation contains rules for administration of unemployment benefits.

VEC reports that the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act required dramatic changes in how it delivered services across the Commonwealth. Consequently, starting in September 2018, VEC has modernized its unemployment claim filing process by shifting away from pen-and-paper based claim filing to online filing, which necessitates making changes to some claim processing timelines. VEC also proposes to revise one of the filing timelines to reflect a best practice recommended by the United States Department of Labor (USDOL). VEC also proposes amendments to this chapter to reflect the revised claim filing timelines and the description of the process currently in effect.

Estimated Benefits and Costs. VEC proposes to update the time period for filing a new claim for benefits for partial unemployment (i.e. working less hours in a week than the regular hours) from 14 days to 10 days after the employee receives evidence of partial unemployment from his or her employer. According to VEC, under the old system (before modernization), the employee was at the mercy of the employer to file partial unemployment. But under the new system, the employee can file online or over the phone and the necessary form is then mailed to them. Because the employee is now responsible to provide their form to the employer, VEC reports that 10 days is sufficient under the new approach. VEC reports that this change is to ensure timely processing of partial claims now that claim-related forms can be filed electronically. Additionally, the 10-day requirement is now standard for any document the benefits division gives claimants to be completed and returned.

Similarly, VEC proposes to update the timeline to file the first continued claim form from within 28 days of the day the initial claim was filed to within 21 days. In the past, claimants had 28 days to file their first claim from the date of the initial application, or risk having to renew their application for benefits. However, USDOL recommends allowing a shorter time period, 21 days, to file a continued claim following the initial application. Consequently, VEC adopted the new 21-day standard in 2016 and now proposes to update the regulation to reflect this change in practice.

The last timeline being proposed to be updated is an increase from 8 days to 10 days in the time allowed for employing units to complete and return their report of separation and wage information. This change reflects current practice, and will update the regulation regarding the time employers currently have to complete and submit the separation and wage information when a worker is terminated.

The remaining proposed changes are updates of the language to reflect changes in the description of the processes. For example, language regarding mass separations is being amended as such separations are handled differently following the recent modernized process. Another example is the addition of new language to include an additional reason the claimant may cancel their initial claim to account for agency errors, expand filing methods, and remove processes no longer applicable.

Based on information available from VEC, all of the proposed changes reflect current practices and the agency is not aware of any complaints due to the changes in timelines included in this action. Thus, none of the proposed changes appear to have a significant economic effect other than updating the language for consistency with ongoing processes, practices, and procedures used by the agency.

Businesses and Other Entities Affected. The proposed amendments apply to all individuals and businesses required to file or report an unemployment benefit claim or event.

The Code of Virginia requires DPB to assess whether an adverse impact may result from the proposed regulation.² An adverse impact is indicated if there is any increase in net cost or reduction in net revenue for any entity, even if the benefits exceed the costs for all entities combined. As noted above, VEC has not received any complaints due to the proposed timeline changes in claims processing and reporting. Thus, based on information available from VEC, no individual or business appears to be adversely affected by the proposed changes to definitions.

Small Businesses³ Affected.⁴ The proposed amendments do not appear to adversely affect small businesses.

Localities⁵ Affected.⁶ The proposed amendments do not disproportionately affect any particular localities and do not introduce costs for local governments.

Projected Impact on Employment. The proposed amendments do not affect employment.

Effects on the Use and Value of Private Property. The proposed amendments do not affect the use and value of private property or the real estate development costs.

________________________________

¹Section 2.2-4007.04 of the Code of Virginia requires that such economic impact analyses determine the public benefits and costs of the proposed amendments. Further the analysis should include but not be limited to: (1) the projected number of businesses or other entities to whom the proposed regulatory action would apply, (2) the identity of any localities and types of businesses or other entities particularly affected, (3) the projected number of persons and employment positions to be affected, (4) the projected costs to affected businesses or entities to implement or comply with the regulation, and (5) the impact on the use and value of private property.

²Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.04 D: In the event this economic impact analysis reveals that the proposed regulation would have an adverse economic impact on businesses or would impose a significant adverse economic impact on a locality, business, or entity particularly affected, the Department of Planning and Budget shall advise the Joint Commission on Administrative Rules, the House Committee on Appropriations, and the Senate Committee on Finance. Statute does not define "adverse impact," state whether only Virginia entities should be considered, nor indicate whether an adverse impact results from regulatory requirements mandated by legislation.

³Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.04, small business is defined as "a business entity, including its affiliates, that (i) is independently owned and operated and (ii) employs fewer than 500 full-time employees or has gross annual sales of less than $6 million."

⁴If the proposed regulatory action may have an adverse effect on small businesses, § 2.2-4007.04 requires that such economic impact analyses include: (1) an identification and estimate of the number of small businesses subject to the proposed regulation, (2) the projected reporting, recordkeeping, and other administrative costs required for small businesses to comply with the proposed regulation, including the type of professional skills necessary for preparing required reports and other documents, (3) a statement of the probable effect of the proposed regulation on affected small businesses, and (4) a description of any less intrusive or less costly alternative methods of achieving the purpose of the proposed regulation. Additionally, pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, if there is a finding that a proposed regulation may have an adverse impact on small business, the Joint Commission on Administrative Rules shall be notified.

⁵"Locality" can refer to either local governments or the locations in the Commonwealth where the activities relevant to the regulatory change are most likely to occur.

⁶Section 2.2-4007.04 defines "particularly affected" as bearing disproportionate material impact.

Agency's Response to Economic Impact Analysis: The agency has reviewed the economic impact analysis prepared by the Department of Planning and Budget and concurs with this analysis.

Summary:

The amendments (i) conform regulatory text to meet U.S. Department of Labor performance requirement timelines and accurately reflect the claims filing process as the agency increasingly moves away from local offices and into a modernized claim filing process; (ii) alter the continued and weekly claim filing deadline; and (iii) update forms required by the regulation.

16VAC5-60-10. Total and part-total unemployment.

A. An individual's week of total or part-total unemployment shall consist of the seven-consecutive-day period beginning with the Sunday prior to the first day he the individual files his a claim at the field office and registers for work, except as provided in subdivisions 1 and 2 of this subsection; and, thereafter, the seven-consecutive-day period following any week of such unemployment, provided the individual reports as required by subsection C of this section. An initial claim may be filed in person at a field office, or at the discretion of the commission, by telephone or, Internet, or by other means at the discretion of the commission. Upon implementation of Internet and telephonic claims processes, a claimant may file an initial claim for benefits by any of the three methods described herein.

1. A week of total or part-total unemployment of an individual located in an area served only by the itinerant service of the commission shall consist of the seven-consecutive-day period beginning with the Sunday prior to the first day of such individual's unemployment, provided that such individual registers in person with such itinerant service at the first available opportunity following the commencement of his total or part-total unemployment except as provided in subdivision 2 of this subsection; and, thereafter, the seven-consecutive-day period following any week of such unemployment provided the individual reports as required by subsection C of this section.

2. A week of total or part-total unemployment of an individual affected by a mass separation with respect to which arrangements are made for group filing by the employer shall consist of the seven-consecutive-day period beginning with the Sunday prior to the first day of his unemployment provided that the group filing is conducted within 13 days following the first day of unemployment.

B. Whenever an employing unit receives an Employer's Report of Separation and Wage Information form correspondence electronically or by mail from the commission informing it that an individual has filed a claim for benefits, such employing unit shall, within eight 10 days from the date of mailing notification, complete the report and return or submit it to the office from which the informatory notice was sent commission as directed. That portion of the Employer's Report of Separation and Wage Information to be completed by the employing unit shall set forth:

1. The date the worker began working;

2. The last day on which he actually worked;

3. A check mark in the block indicating the The reason for separation and a brief statement of the reason for the separation;

4. Such other information as is required by such form. The employing unit's official name and account number, if any, assigned to such employing unit by the commission shall appear on the signed completed report;

5. The name and title of the official signing completing the report shall be provided as well as certification that the information contained in the report is accurate and complete to the best knowledge of that official.

C. In cases involving a mass separation, as defined in 16VAC5-10-10, an employer shall not be required to file individual reports for such workers as otherwise provided by this section if such employer files a list of workers involved in the mass separation with the commission as soon as possible, but in no case later than 24 hours after the date of separation. Such list shall include the workers' social security account numbers and any other information the commission may require.

D. To file a claim for benefits, a claimant shall report in a manner prescribed by the commission, and shall file a claim for benefits setting forth (i) his the claimant's unemployment and that he the claimant claims benefits, (ii) that he the claimant is able to work and is available for work, and (iii) such other information as is required. A claim for benefits, when filed, may also constitute the individual's registration for work.

Upon written request by the claimant, an initial claim for benefits, not to include combined-wage claims, may be canceled if (i) the request is made within the appeal period shown on the monetary determination; (ii) there has been no payment made on the claim; and (iii) the deputy has not rendered a determination based on the claimant's separation from employment; and (iv) the commission is at fault due to a representative of the commission giving inadequate or misleading information to an individual about filing a claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a claim that was filed in error by an employer on behalf of a claimant may be canceled upon the claimant's written request. All records of a canceled claim shall be deleted from the agency's automated benefits database. Upon written request by the claimant, a claim may be withdrawn if the commission determines that the provisions of § 60.2-107 of the Code of Virginia have been met and any benefits paid the claimant have been repaid.

Combined wage claims may be canceled under the provisions set forth in 16VAC5-70-20 B.

1. Except as otherwise provided in this section the claimant shall continue to report as directed during a continuous period of unemployment.

2. The commission shall permit continued or weekly claims to be filed by mail Internet, telephone, or such other means as the commission may authorize, unless special conditions require or allow in-person reporting. Such special conditions may include:

a. When a claimant is reporting back to claim his first week(s) after filing an initial, additional, or reopened claim and he has not returned to work in the meantime;

b. When a claimant needs assistance in order to completely and accurately fill out his claim forms so as to avoid delays in processing his claims by mail;

c. When, in the opinion of the field office manager or deputy, there is a question of eligibility or qualification which must be resolved through an in-person interview;

d. When a claimant who would normally be reporting by mail receives no additional claim forms and he wishes to continue claiming benefits;

e. When a claimant requests to report in person due to problems associated with the receipt of mail.

E. D. All initial total, partial, or part-total unemployment claims shall be effective consistent with the provisions set forth in subsection A of this section, except that an earlier effective date may apply for late filing of claims in the following cases:

1. The commission is at fault due to a representative of the commission giving inadequate or misleading information to an individual about filing a claim;

2. A previous claim was filed against a wrong liable state;

3. Filing was delayed due to circumstances attributable to the commission;

4. A transitional claim is filed within 14 days from the date the Notice of Benefit Year Ending was mailed to the claimant by the commission;

5. When claiming benefits under any special unemployment insurance program, the claimant becomes eligible for regular unemployment insurance when the calendar quarter changes;

6. The wrong type of claim was taken processed by a field office the commission;

7. With respect to reopened or additional claims only, the claimant can show circumstances beyond his the claimant's control which prevented or prohibited him from reporting earlier.

F. E. In order to claim benefit rights with respect to a given week, the claimant must file a continued or weekly claim form for such week. The first continued or weekly claim form must be filed within 28 21 days of the day the initial claim application was filed. Thereafter, a subsequent continued or weekly claim must be filed within 28 21 days after the week ending date of the last week claimed. If filing by mail is permitted by the commission, the postmark date constitutes the date of claim filing with the commission. If no postmark appears on the envelope, the continued or weekly claim shall be presumed to be filed on the date it was received by the commission. If the 28th 21st day falls upon a date when the field commission's office is closed, the final date for filing shall be extended to the next day the office is open. Failure to file a continued or weekly claim within the 28-day 21-day period will result in the denial of benefits for the weeks in question unless good cause is shown, and an additional or reopened claim must be filed in order to initiate any further claim for benefits. Good cause for a delay in filing may be shown for any of the following reasons:

1. The commission is at fault due to a representative of the commission giving inadequate or misleading information to an individual about filing a claim;

2. Filing was delayed due to circumstances attributable to the commission; or

3. The claimant can show circumstances beyond his the claimant's control which that prevented or prohibited him the claimant from filing earlier.

G. F. Normally, all claimants whose unemployment is total or part-total must make an active search for work by contacting prospective employers in an effort to find work during each week claimed in order to meet the eligibility requirements of § 60.2-612 of the Code of Virginia. A claimant who is temporarily unemployed with an expected return to work date within a reasonable period of time as determined by the commission which that can be verified from employer information may be considered attached to his the claimant's regular employer so as to meet the requirement that he the claimant be actively seeking and unable to find suitable work if he the claimant performs all suitable work which his that the claimant's regular employer has for him the claimant during the any week or weeks claimed while attached. Attachment will end if the claimant does not return to work as scheduled or if changed circumstances indicate he the claimant has become separated.

H. G. In areas of high unemployment as defined in 16VAC5-10-10, the commission has the authority, in the absence of federal law to the contrary, to adjust the work search requirement of the Act. Any adjustment will be made quarterly within the designated area of high unemployment as follows:

1. The adjustment will be implemented by requiring claimants filing claims for benefits through the office serving who reside in an area experiencing a total unemployment rate of 10% through 14.9% to make one job contact with an employer each week.

2. The adjustment will be implemented by waiving the search for work requirement of all claimants filing claims for benefits through the office serving who reside in an area experiencing a total unemployment rate of 15% or more.

3. No adjustment will be made for claimants filing claims for benefits through the office serving who reside in an area experiencing a total unemployment rate below 10%.

16VAC5-60-20. Partial unemployment.

A. With respect to a partially unemployed individual, a week of partial unemployment shall consist of a calendar week beginning on Sunday and ending at midnight on Saturday. Total wages payable to partially unemployed workers are to be reported on a calendar week basis.

B. Upon filing of a new claim for partial benefits in each claimant's benefit year the commission shall promptly notify the employer of such claimant's weekly benefit amount, the date on which his the claimant's benefit year commenced, and the effective date of the claim for partial benefits. Similar notice shall likewise be given at least once during the claimant's benefit year to each subsequent employer to whom the claimant is attached during a period of partial unemployment for which he the claimant claims benefits. Upon receipt of the notice the employer shall record this information for use in the preparation of the evidence he the employer is required to furnish periodically as required in subsection C of this section.

C. After the employer has been notified of the benefit year, the weekly benefit amount, and the effective date of the claim for partial benefits of any worker in his the employer's employ (pursuant to subsection B of this section) the employer shall, within seven days, furnish the employee with written evidence concerning any week or weeks of partial unemployment which that ended on or before the receipt of such notice and which that began on or after the effective date of the employee's claim for partial benefits. The employer, until otherwise notified, shall, within 14 days after the termination of any pay period which that includes a week or weeks of partial unemployment, and which that ends after the date of receipt of such notification, furnish the employee with written evidence concerning his the employee's partial unemployment with respect to such week or weeks. Written evidence of partial unemployment required by this subsection shall be furnished by means of a Statement of Partial Unemployment, Form VEC-B-31, or other suitable medium approved by the commission. Such evidence need not be furnished, however, where the worker's earnings for a week of partial unemployment equals or exceeds his the worker's weekly benefit amount.

The information contained on such medium shall be in ink or typewritten and shall show:

1. The name of the employer and employer account number;

2. The name and social security account number of the worker;

3. The date delivered to the worker;

4. The calendar week ending date;

5. The gross amount of wages earned in such week, by day;

6. The reason and the number of days or hours involved where the worker's earnings were reduced for any cause other than lack of work;

7. The following certification, or one similar:

"During the week or weeks covered by this report, the worker whose name is entered worked less than full time and earned less than his weekly benefit amount for total unemployment because of lack of work, or otherwise shown. I certify that to the best of my knowledge, this information is true and correct";

8. A An original signature (actual or facsimile) by the employer to the above certification in subdivision 7 of this subsection or other identification of the authority supplying the evidence.

D. The new claim for benefits for partial unemployment shall be dated to effective Sunday, the first day of the beginning of the individual's week of in which the partial unemployment as defined in subsection A of this section. However, in no event shall such new claim be back dated to include a week which ended more than 28 days prior to the date the individual was furnished the Statement of Partial Unemployment, or other written evidence concerning his partial unemployment, as provided in subsection C, by the employer claim is filed.

E. 1. Upon filing a claim as specified in subsection D of this section, the commission shall cause the notice referred to in subsection B of this section to be sent to the employer. Thereafter, the employer shall make available to the claimant the Statement of Partial Unemployment, Form VEC-B-31, or other written evidence concerning his the claimant's partial unemployment, as provided in subsection C of this section. Such written evidence of partial unemployment shall be presented to the field office commission within 14 10 days after it is delivered to him the claimant by the employer, and failure to do so, within that time, shall render result in the claim invalid as to the week or weeks to which the statement or other evidence relates being processed based on the available information.

2. For each subsequent week the partial claim is continued, the employer shall furnish the claimant with the evidence of partial unemployment as provided in subsection C of this section, and the claimant shall continue to present such evidence to the field office commission within 14 10 days after it is delivered to him the claimant by the employer. Failure to do so shall render the claim invalid with respect to the any week or weeks to which the statement or other evidence relates.

3. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions 1 and 2 of this subsection, the commission shall permit the claimant to file a continued or weekly claim by mail, or otherwise, in the same circumstances applicable to a claimant for total or part-total unemployment compensation.

F. With respect to any week claimed, a partially unemployed claimant shall be deemed to be actively seeking work if he the claimant performs all suitable work offered to him the claimant by his the claimant's regular employer.

16VAC5-60-40. Commission approval of training other than that under Section § 134 of the Workforce Investment Innovation and Opportunity Act or Section § 2296 of the Trade Act.

A. Training shall be approved for an eligible claimant under the provisions of § 60.2-613 of the Code of Virginia only if the commission finds that:

1. Prospects for continuing employment for which the claimant is qualified by training and experience are minimal and are not likely to improve in the foreseeable future in the locality in which he the claimant resides or is claiming benefits;

2. The proposed training course of instruction is vocational or technical training or retraining in schools or classes that are conducted as programs designed to prepare an individual for gainful employment in the occupation for which training is applicable. The training course shall require a minimum of 30 hours attendance each week;

3. The proposed training course has been approved by an appropriate accrediting agency or, if none exists in the state, the training complies with quality and supervision standards established by the commission, or is licensed by an agency of the state in which it is being given;

4. The claimant has the required qualifications and aptitude to complete the course successfully;

5. The training does not include programs of instruction which are primarily intended to lead toward a baccalaureate or higher degree from an institution of higher education.

B. Benefits may be paid to an otherwise eligible claimant while he the claimant is attending training only if the commission finds that the claimant is enrolled in and regularly attending the course of instruction approved for him the claimant by the commission.

C. A claimant shall request training approval on forms provided as prescribed by the commission. The claimant's enrollment and attendance shall be reported to the commission periodically as directed by the commission.
