 1        AN  ACT  to  amend  the  Unemployment  Insurance  Act  by
 2    changing Section 703.

 3        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:

 5        Section  5.  The Unemployment Insurance Act is amended by
 6    changing Section 703 as follows:

 7        (820 ILCS 405/703) (from Ch. 48, par. 453)
 8        Sec. 703. Reconsideration of findings or determinations.
 9        The claims adjudicator may reconsider his finding at  any
10    time  within  thirteen  weeks  after the close of the benefit
11    year. He may reconsider his determination at any time  within
12    one  year  after  the  last  day  of  the  week for which the
13    determination was made, except that if the issue  is  whether
14    or   not,  by  reason  of  a  back  pay  award  made  by  any
15    governmental agency or pursuant to  arbitration  proceedings,
16    or  by reason of a payment of wages wrongfully withheld by an
17    employing unit, an individual has received wages for  a  week
18    with  respect  to which he or she has received benefits or if
19    the issue is  whether  or  not  the  claimant  misstated  his
20    earnings for the week, such reconsidered determination may be
21    made at any time within 5 two years after the last day of the
22    week.  No  finding  or determination shall be reconsidered at
23    any time after appeal therefrom has been  taken  pursuant  to
24    the  provisions  of Section 800, except where a case has been
25    remanded to the claims adjudicator by a Referee, the Director
26    or the Board of Review, and except, further, that if an issue
27    as to whether or not the claimant misstated his  earnings  is
28    newly discovered, the determination may be reconsidered after
29    and  notwithstanding  the  fact  that  the  decision upon the
30    appeal  has  become  final.  Notice  of   such   reconsidered
31    determination or reconsidered finding shall be promptly given
 
                            -2-                LRB9201211RCcd
 1    to   the   parties   entitled   to  notice  of  the  original
 2    determination or finding, as the case may  be,  in  the  same
 3    manner  as  is  prescribed  therefor,  and  such reconsidered
 4    determination or reconsidered finding  shall  be  subject  to
 5    appeal  in the same manner and shall be given the same effect
 6    as is provided for an original determination or finding.
