The interested parties must be afforded seven calendar days after the date of the notice of the claim to present any information pertinent to the claim by mail, telephone, or electronic means in accordance with such rules as the director of the division may promulgate. The information must be received by the division within seven calendar days after said date. If the seventh calendar day falls on a weekend or a state holiday, the date must be moved to the first working day immediately following such weekend or holiday.

Whenever information submitted is not clearly adequate to substantiate a decision, the deputy shall promptly seek the necessary information. If it is necessary to obtain information by mail from any source, the information shall be received by the division no later than seven calendar days after the date of the request for information. On the basis of the deputy's review, the deputy shall determine the validity of the claim and, if valid, when payment shall commence, the amount payable, and the duration of payment.
