Section 2720.5  Service Of Notices, Decisions, Orders

a)         Except as provided in subsection (b), a notice, decision or order shall be served on every party, either by:

1)         Personal service; or

2)         Mailing in an envelope, sealed and properly addressed to the last known address of the party, with the correct amount of postage prepaid.

b)         When an agreement is made between the agency and the employing unit (or its authorized agent) and the necessary identifying information is available, the "Notice of Claim to Last Employing Unit and Last Employer or other Interested Party" shall be sent to the employing unit (or its authorized agent) by means of an electronic data transmission rather than by mailing a document to the employing unit.

c)         A person may designate an agent to receive his notices and decisions by filing the name and address of the agent with the Agency.  In such cases, notice to the agent so designated is notice to the person.  A person's designation of the agent shall remain in effect until the Agency receives a notice that the agency relationship no longer exists.

d)         Notwithstanding the appointment of an agent in accordance with subsection (c), the "Notice of Claim to Last Employing Unit and Last Employer or other Interested Party" (see Section 2720.130) shall be sent to the employing unit identified by the claimant at the time he files his claim for benefits.
