(C) For the purposes of division (C)(3) of section 4141.281 of the Revised Code, the "director's file" that is required to be included in the record on appeal, shall include the following: (1) The determination or redetermination under appeal; (2) All information in the file pertaining to, or upon which, the determination or redetermination was based; (3) Any information, received by the director prior to the transfer of the request for redetermination/appeal to the commission, that relates to the facts or circumstances upon which the determination or redetermination was based.

The director's notice may also be provided to the interested party by electronic means, if he/she voluntarily elects to receive notifications via electronic correspondence. (B) In determining whether an appeal filed pursuant to section 4141.281 of the Revised Code was filed timely, the director and the unemployment compensation review commission shall take administrative notice of and accept the "date issued" appearing on the notice of determination or redetermination as sufficient evidence to establish the date on which the determination or redetermination was sent.
