(a) Each applicant must be issued a password for the purpose of filing continued requests for unemployment benefits, accessing information, and engaging in other transactions with the department.
(b) If a password assigned to an applicant is used in the filing of a continued request for unemployment benefits under section 268.0865 or any other type of transaction, the applicant is presumed to have been the individual using that password and presumed to have received any unemployment benefit payment issued. This presumption may be rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence showing that the applicant assigned the password was not the individual who used that password in the transaction.
(c) The commissioner must notify each applicant of this section.
