(820 ILCS 405/1508) (from Ch. 48, par. 578)
Sec. 1508.
Statement of benefit wages and statement of benefit charges.
The Director shall periodically furnish each employer with a statement of
the wages of his workers or former workers which became his benefit wages
together with the names of such workers or former workers. The Director
shall also periodically furnish each employer with a statement of benefits
which became benefit charges together with the names of such workers or
former workers. Any such statement, in absence of an application for revision
thereof within 45 days from the date of mailing of such statement to his
last known address, shall be conclusive and final upon the employer for
all purposes and in all proceedings whatsoever. Such application for
revision shall be in the form and manner prescribed by regulation of the
Director. If the Director shall deem any application for revision
insufficient, he shall rule such insufficient application stricken and
shall serve notice of such ruling and the basis therefor upon the
employer. Such ruling shall be final and conclusive upon the employer
unless he shall file a sufficient application for revision within 20
days from the date of service of notice of such ruling. Upon receipt of
a sufficient application for revision of such statement within the time
allowed, the Director shall order such application allowed in whole or
in part or shall order that such application for revision be denied and
shall serve notice upon the employer of such order. Such order of the
Director shall be final and conclusive at the expiration of 20 days
from the date of service of such notice unless the employer shall have
filed with the Director a written protest and a petition for hearing,
specifying his objections thereto. Upon receipt of such petition within
the 20 days allowed, the Director shall fix the time and place for a
hearing and shall notify the employer thereof. At any hearing held as
herein provided, the order of the Director shall be prima facie correct
and the burden shall be upon the protesting employer to prove that it is
incorrect. All of the provisions of this Act, applicable to hearings
conducted pursuant to Section 2200 and not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Section, shall be applicable to hearings conducted
pursuant to this Section. No employer shall have the right to object to
the benefit wages or benefit charges with respect to any worker as shown on
such statement unless he shall first show that such benefit wages or
benefit charges arose as a result of benefits paid to such worker in
accordance with a finding, reconsidered finding, determination, or
reconsidered determination, or for 1987 or any calendar year thereafter a
Referee's decision, to which such employer was a party entitled to notice
thereof, as provided by Sections 701 to 703, inclusive, or Section 800, and
shall further show that he was not notified of such finding, reconsidered
finding, determination, or reconsidered determination, or for 1987 or any
calendar year thereafter such Referee's decision, in accordance with the
requirements of Sections 701 to 703, inclusive, or Section 800. Nothing
herein contained shall abridge the right of any employer at such hearing to
object to such statement of benefit wages or statement of benefit charges
on the ground that it is incorrect by reason of a clerical error made by
the Director or any of his employees. The employer shall be promptly
notified, by mail, of the Director's decision. Such decision shall be
final and conclusive unless review is had within the time and in the
manner provided by Section 2205.
