Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Oct 5, 2021
Kaleaha Rayner vs. Division of Employment Security
Kaleaha Rayner appealed the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission's dismissal of her application for review as untimely. Rayner contended she had timely mailed an application that the Commission claimed not to have received, and later sent a second application. The appellate court reversed and remanded, holding that the Commission erred by not making findings of fact regarding Rayner's assertion of a timely mailed application, which, if proven, would be deemed filed under the statutory mailbox rule.
