     268.084 Personal identification number; presumption. 

    (a) Each applicant shall be issued a personal 
 identification number (PIN) for the purpose of filing continued 
 biweekly requests for unemployment benefits, accessing 
 information, and engaging in other transactions with the 
 department. 

    (b) If a PIN assigned to an applicant is used in the filing 
 of a continued biweekly request for unemployment benefits under 
 section 268.086 or any other type of transaction, the applicant 
 shall be presumed to have been the individual using that PIN 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 PIN was not 
 the individual who used that PIN in the transaction. 

    (c) The commissioner shall notify each applicant of this 
 section.
