The Department is not required to accept all wage claims. Acceptance is based upon the cost to the state to enforce the claim, the strength of the proof supporting the claim, and the current enforcement focus of the Department. All claims will be reviewed for acceptance. If additional information is needed to make a determination an investigator will contact you. An acceptance determination should be made within two weeks.  \nNotice to the Employer: Once a claim is accepted and assigned to an investigator, a notice of claim and demand letter is sent to the employer. Twenty days are allowed for the employer to respond. Depending on Investigator case load, it may take time before your claim letter is mailed. Once the demand letter is sent, the claim is set for follow-up.
