Terms Used In Alaska Statutes 23.20.415

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • benefits: means the money payments payable to an individual, as provided in this chapter with respect to the individual's unemployment. See Alaska Statutes 23.20.520
  • claimant: means an individual who has filed a request for a determination of insured status, a notice of unemployment, a certification for waiting-week credit, or a claim for benefits. See Alaska Statutes 23.20.520
  • employing unit: means one or more departments or other agencies of the state, a political subdivision of the state, a federally recognized tribe, an individual, or a type of organization, partnership, association, trust, estate, joint trust company, insurance company, or domestic or foreign corporation, or the receiver, referee in bankruptcy, trustee, or successor of one of these, or the legal representative of a deceased person, that has or had one or more individuals performing service for it in the state. See Alaska Statutes 23.20.520
  • employment: includes services described in this subparagraph and (A) of this paragraph only if
    (i) the contract of service contemplates that substantially all of the services are to be performed personally by the individual. See Alaska Statutes 23.20.525
  • Fraud: Intentional deception resulting in injury to another.
(b) If an appeal involves a question whether service constitutes employment, the tribunal shall give notice of the appeal and the issues involved to a properly designated representative of the department and to the employing unit for which the service was performed. The employing unit, if not already a party, shall then become a party to the appeal.
(c) If an appeal from a determination is pending on the date a redetermination is issued, the appeal unless withdrawn shall be treated as an appeal from the redetermination. Appeals may be withdrawn at the request of the appellant and with the permission of the appeal tribunal if the record preceding the appeal and the request for the withdrawal support the correctness of the determination, and indicate that no coercion or fraud is involved in the withdrawal.
(d) In addition to the issues raised by the determination which is appealed, the tribunal may hear and decide additional issues affecting the claimant‘s rights to benefits if, by the date of hearing, the department has issued no final determination concerning the additional issues and the parties involved have been notified of the hearing and of the pendency of the additional issues.
