(a) Total and part-total claims. To file a claim for total or part-total unemployment, an individual must report to the department and file a claim as specified by the department. Registration for work with the department is required as directed by the department and failure to register may cause benefits to be withheld.

Form DOL-408, "Weekly Report of Low Earnings", shall be completed by the employer and furnished to the employee no more than thirty (30) days from the end of the employer's payroll week during which employee worked less than full-time. Provided such employee may, upon failure of the employer to provide such forms, file such claim at the nearest claims office of the department. Such claims must be filed within sixty (60) days from the end of the employer's payroll week in which said claimant worked less than full-time. Provided, further, that the limitations imposed hereunder may, in the discretion of the Commissioner or the Commissioner's designee, be waived upon the showing of extenuating circumstances.
