During busy times, such as July and December, when Companies shut down for vacations, economic reasons, or during school vacations, employers have the option of "mass filing" claims for affected workers. To file, the shutdown/vacation period must be of specific duration, preferably no longer than 5 weeks, with a definite return-to-work date for employees. 

If all requirements are met, the Call Center mails forms to employers. Once returned, the Call Center processes the claims and makes payments as appropriate.
