FILING OF EMPLOYER PROTEST AND DOCUMENTS THROUGH EMPLOYER PORTAL.
A. The procedure set out in this section for the filing of a statement of objection through the employer portal is an optional procedure for the employer. If the employer chooses not to utilize this procedure, the employer must file its protest in accordance with subsection E of Section 2-503 of Title 40 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
B. An employer may file a statement of objections to the claim of a former employee at any time from the moment of discharge or separation from employment of the employee until the expiration of the ten-day time period set out in subsection E of Section 2-503 of Title 40 of the Oklahoma Statutes. The statement of objection must be filed through the employer portal on the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission's Internet website and must contain a statement of specific facts and documentation which:
1. Disclose the name and social security number of the employee;
2. Make the claimant ineligible for benefits under Sections 2-201 through 2-210 of Title 40 of the Oklahoma Statutes;
3. Disqualify the claimant for benefits under Sections 2-401 through 2-419 of Title 40 of the Oklahoma Statutes; or
4. Relieve the employer from being charged for the benefits wages of this claimant.
C. Any statement of objection filed pursuant to this section within the time period and in the manner set out in subsection B of this section shall be considered a valid protest to a claim for unemployment benefits filed by the former employee and the employer shall be considered an interested party to the claim. A statement of objection filed pursuant to this section outside the time period or in any manner other than as set out in subsection B of this section shall not be considered a valid protest to a claim for unemployment of the former employee, and the employer shall not be considered an interested party to the claim.
