MADE BY THE SECRETARY ON A CLAIM PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH (1) OF

THIS SUBSECTION shall be deemed final AS TO THE CLAIMANT AND TO

AN EMPLOYER ENTITLED TO NOTICE OF THE DETERMINATION OR

REDETERMINATION unless THE CLAIMANT OR EMPLOYER [a party]

entitled to notice thereof files an appeal within 15 days after
the notice was mailed to his last known address, or otherwise
delivered to him; provided, that such period may be extended by

the Board of Appeals for good cause.

employing unit and such employing unit shall not be entitled to
such notice if it has failed to indicate prior to the
determination, as required by regulation of the [Executive
Director] SECRETARY, that the claimant may be ineligible or
disqualified under any provision of this article.
