12 AAC 12.855. Time periods and methods for filing

(a) If a document must be filed on or before a specified date under a provision of 12 AAC 12.800 - 12 AAC 12.855, the document may be filed by personal delivery, first class mail, or facsimile transmission. If the document is filed by

(1) mail, the date of filing is the date when the department receives the document; or

(2) personal delivery or facsimile transmission, the document will not be considered timely filed unless the department receives the document before the time the department closes for regular business on the specified date.

(b) If a date on or before which a document must be filed under 12 AAC 12.800 - 12 AAC 12.855 is a Saturday, Sunday, or state holiday, the document must be filed on or before the next regular business day.

(c) For purposes of calculating a time period under AS 43.70.075 and 12 AAC 12.800 - 12 AAC 12.855, the date when a notice of a department action is issued to an aggrieved person is the date that the department personally delivers the notice, sends it by first class mail, or transmits it by facsimile transmission, whichever occurs first. An aggrieved person represented by an attorney will be presumed to have been issued the decision if the decision is issued to the attorney by one of the means in this subsection.

(d) A document may not be filed by electronic mail or by any other electronic means except facsimile transmission.
