Okla. Stat. tit. 40, § 40-1-224: File

FILE.

A. For purposes of this section, "OESC 2020-21 business process

transformation" means a change from paper process to integrated

digital technology. Upon completion of the OESC 2020-21 business

process transformation, electronic e-filing will be the Commission's

preferred filing method for tendering and receiving documents. All

claimants and employers tendering documents to the Commission will

be expected to tender the documents electronically. If the claimant

or employer has elected to utilize other means of transmittal, it

will be the responsibility of the claimant or employer to notify the

Commission of this preference.

B. When the provisions of the Employment Security Act of 1980

or the rules promulgated under the authority of the act require any

document to be filed with the Oklahoma Employment Security

Commission or its affiliate entities, the term "file", "files", or

"filed" shall mean:

1. Mailing by means calculated to ensure receipt by the

Oklahoma Employment Security Commission on or before the date due.

Timely mailing shall be determined by the United States Postal

Service postmark. If there is no such legible postmark, the date of

receipt by the Commission shall constitute the date of filing;

2. Electronic e-filing to the Oklahoma Employment Security

Commission, as directed by the instructions on the determination

letter, order or other document issued by the Commission, by

midnight on or before the date due. Timely transmission shall be

determined by the Commission's transmission log file; or

3. Digital portal filing by midnight on or before the date due.

Timely transmission shall be determined by the Commission's

transmission log file.

C. If the Employment Security Act of 1980 or the rules

promulgated under the Employment Security Act of 1980 require that a

document be filed with a court or any other agency of this state,

the term "file", "files" or "filed" shall be defined by the

statutes, rules or practice governing that court or agency.
