ARM 24.40.111. EMPLOYER LOSS OF INTERESTED PARTY STATUS

(2) The department shall provide written notice to the employer of the determination of loss of rights. The employer may then only participate as an informational witness in the claim adjudication. (3) The department may restore the employer's interested party status if the employer shows good cause for the lack of, inadequate, or untimely responses to the department's request for information or questions. (4) The employer and the department are the only interested parties to the adjudication of an employer's loss of interested party status.
