Or. Admin. Code § 471-070-1220

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 12, December 1, 2024

Section 471-070-1220 - Benefits: Cancellation of a Claim

A claim may be cancelled at any time provided:

(1) A request to cancel has been submitted online or in another method approved by the department;

(2) No leave was taken under the claim;

(3) Benefits have not been paid for the claim. Benefits are considered paid if a payment has been mailed or electronically sent to the claimant's bank or other financial institution, or the payment was distributed but intercepted; and

(4) No disqualification has been issued by the department and no appeal of a disqualification or denial has been requested.

Example: Solomon was approved for three weeks of consecutive leave for a scheduled surgery starting on March 1, 2024. The claim started a new benefit year and established the weekly benefit amount for the benefit year. However, Solomon decides to postpone the surgery until August 1, 2024 and requests to cancel the claim. No leave was taken and no benefits were paid. The request is cancelled by the department. The benefit year and weekly benefit amount are also cancelled. When Solomon applies again for benefits for the surgery in August 2024, a new benefit year is started and a new weekly benefit amount is established.
