Utah Admin. Code R994-403-101a - Filing a New Claim
(1) A new claim
for unemployment benefits is made by filing with the Department of Workforce
Services Claims Center. A new claim can be filed by completing an application
at the Department's web site, or as otherwise instructed by the
Department.
(2) The effective date
of a new claim for benefits is the Sunday of the week in which the claim is
filed, provided the claimant did not work full-time during that week, or is not
entitled to earnings equal to or in excess of the WBA for that week. A claim
for benefits can only be made effective for a prior week if the claimant can
establish good cause for late filing in accordance with
R994-403-106a.
(3) When a claimant files a new claim during
the last week of a quarter and has worked less than full-time for that week,
the Department will make the claim effective that week if it is advantageous to
the claimant, even if the claimant has earnings for that week that are equal to
or in excess of the WBA.
(4) Wages
used to establish eligibility for a claim cannot be used on a subsequent
claim.
