Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
820 ILCS 405/801
(820 ILCS 405/801) (from Ch. 48, par. 471)
Sec. 801.
Decision of referee or director.
A. Unless such appeal is withdrawn, a Referee or the Director, as the case
may be, shall afford the parties reasonable opportunity for a fair hearing. At
any hearing, the record of the claimant's registration for work, or of the
claimant's certification that, during the week or weeks affected by the
hearing, he was able to work, available for work, and actively seeking work, or
any document in the files of the Department of Employment Security submitted to
it by any of the parties, shall be a part of the record, and shall be
competent evidence bearing upon the issues. The failure of the claimant
or other party to appear at a hearing, unless he is the appellant, shall
not preclude a decision in his favor if, on the basis of all the
information in the record, he is entitled to such decision. The Referee
or the Director, as the case may be, shall affirm, modify, or set aside
the claims adjudicator's "finding" or "determination," or both, as the
case may be, or may remand the case, in whole or in part, to the claims
adjudicator, and, in such event, shall state the questions requiring
further consideration, and give such other instructions as may be
necessary. The parties shall be duly notified of such decision,
together with the reasons therefor. The decision of the Referee shall
be final, unless, within 30 calendar days after the date of mailing of
such decision, further appeal to the Board of Review is initiated
pursuant to Section 803.
B. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the Director may by
regulation allow the Referee, upon the request of a party for good cause shown,
before or after the Referee issues his decision, to reopen the record to take
additional evidence or to reconsider the Referee's decision or both to reopen
the record and reconsider the Referee's decision. Where the Referee issues
a decision, he shall not reconsider his decision or reopen the record to take
additional evidence after an appeal of the decision is initiated pursuant to
Section 803 or if the request is made more than 30 calendar days, or fewer days
if prescribed by the Director, after the date of mailing of the Referee's
decision. The allowance or denial of a request to reopen the record, where the
request is made before the Referee issues a decision, is not
separately appealable but may be raised as part of the appeal of the Referee's
decision. The allowance of a request to reconsider is not separately
appealable but may be raised as part of the appeal of the Referee's
reconsidered decision. A party may appeal the denial of a timely request to
reconsider a decision within 30 calendar days after the date of mailing of
notice of such denial, and any such appeal shall constitute a timely appeal of
both the denial of the request to reconsider and the Referee's decision.
Whenever reference is made in this Act to the Referee's decision, the term
"decision" includes a reconsidered decision under this subsection.
