12-172 C.M.R. ch. 20, § 2 - Investigation of cases of potential unemployment fraud or misrepresentation
The following procedures shall be used in the investigation of claims involving potentialun employment fraud or misrepresentation.
A. Obtaining documentary evidence. Prior to
interviewing the claimant, the deputy shall obtain all available
documentation.
B. Scheduling the
interview. The deputy shall notify the claimant in writing of the date and time
that the fact-finding interview will be held. Such notice shall be sent to the
claimant's last known or given address, and shall include the following
information: date, time and location of the interview; the facts which are
known to the bureau; the claimant's right to request a postponement; the
claimant's right to provide written information; the amount of any potential
overpayment; and the consequences of a finding of unemployment fraud or
misrepresentation. The interview will be scheduled no earlier than ten (10)
days after the mailing date of the notice. If the notice is returned to the
deputy because it cannot be delivered by mail, the deputy shall review all
available records in order to determine if the address on the notice is the
correct one. If another address is found, a new notice will be mailed to the
claimant at such other address.
1. In-person
interview. If the interview will be conducted in person, the notice will
include the location of the interview.
2. Telephone interview. If the interview will
be conducted by telephone, the notice will include the telephone number at
which the claimant will be called, the time frame during which the claimant
will be called, and the deputy's telephone number. In addition, a copy of all
documentary evidence which the deputy has related to the potential unemployment
fraud or misrepresentation will be forwarded to the claimant prior to the
interview.
