6.5     Handling Return Mail

Refer to the following procedure when handling returned mail.

  1. The mail returned to the State Office is forwarded to a local tax office for action.
  2. Assignments may be issued for returned mail.
    .
  3. Investigation results will be documented.

Note: If an Accounts Examiner receives return mail that includes both a Rate Notice, and a Voluntary Contribution Form, the Accounts Examiner will work these as a priority.

The Agency may not recompute a tax rate based on a voluntary contribution after the 120th day of the calendar year for which the tax rate is in effect. The employer will have 60 days from the date of the notice to submit a voluntary contribution. For normal years the rate will not be recomputed on Voluntary Contributions postmarked after April 30th, while in leap years the rate will not be recomputed on Voluntary Contributions postmarked after April 29th.
