Iowa Admin. Code r. 871-23.63 - Cancellation of interest and penalty

The department may, at its discretion and for good cause, cancel interest and penalty upon written request from the employer or its agent. Requests should be directed to the department at its administrative office. The employer will be advised if the request is denied.

In determining whether good cause has been shown, the department shall consider all relevant factors including but not limited to whether the party acted in the manner that a reasonably prudent individual would have acted under the same or similar circumstances, whether the party received timely notice of the need to act, whether there was administrative error by the department, whether there were factors outside the control of the party that prevented a timely action, the efforts made by the party to seek an extension of time by promptly notifying the department, the party's physical inability to take timely action, the length of time the action was untimely, and whether any other interested party has been prejudiced by the untimely action.

This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 96.14(2).
