Emergency Rule Concerning Covid-19 Pandemic 

In accordance with sections 8-72-102 and 24-4-103, Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S.), an emergency rule is adopted. 

The Division of Unemployment Insurance is responsible for administering Articles 70 through 82 of Title 8, C.R.S., connected to paying unemployment insurance benefits to stabilize the workforce and to minimize the impact of unemployment on the state's economy. 

In order to respond to the continuing economic crisis created by COVID-19, the Division of Unemployment Insurance seeks to codify a modification to provisions regarding the waiting week, work-search requirements, benefit charging, and the required deadlines for submitting quarterly reports and paying unemployment insurance premiums as a result of effects from a COVID-19 outbreak.
