Section 8.85.151. Filing of appeals.

	(a)  An interested party may file an oral or written appeal from a determination or redetermination issued under AS 23.20  and this chapter. The appeal may be filed in person, by mail, or by telephone. An oral or written protest indicating a desire to appeal is an appeal to a referee or the commissioner.  
	(b)  An appeal from a determination or redetermination on a claim for benefits may be filed with a referee or at any office of the division. An appeal must be filed no later than 30 days after the determination or redetermination is personally delivered to the appellant or no later than 30 days after the date the determination or redetermination is mailed to the appellant's last address of record. The 30-day time period will be computed under Rule 6 of the Rules of Civil Procedure. However, the 30-day period may be extended for a reasonable time if the appellant shows that the failure to file within this period was the result of circumstances beyond the appellant's control.  
	(c)  The division shall notify all parties and their representatives that an appeal has been filed with the division. A written explanation of appeal procedures, rights, and responsibilities is available electronically to the public on the department's website, and shall be included with each notice of hearing sent to a party.
