Result 3: The average requester may not understand “gross” and “net”: While two of the three participants understood the meaning of “gross” and “net”, one participant understood the meaning solely based on her experience as a payroll manager and explained that her employees would probably not understand what the terms meant without the definition on the page. Step 5: Summarize your research into results and use them to concretely improve your communications. Candidate interviews provide valuable information about how people actually react and understand the messages sent to them. Here are some of our key findings from the research we conducted in collaboration with Rhode Island. See the full definition of applicants in the English Language Learners Dictionary We recognize that states must cite laws, but the inclusion of legal language automatically increases the reading level of a document. We recommend linking to legislation as much as possible, rather than including them verbatim in communications. To facilitate the processing of important information by applicants, we recommend that all information important to the applicant be in bold, including application status, overpayments, important dates and deadlines, and next steps to facilitate the processing of information. Nglish: Applicant`s translation for Spanish speakers (5) Land Use Ordinance The term “Land Use Ordinance” means a zoning or marking law, or the application of such an Act, that restricts or restricts the use or development of land by an applicant (including a structure attached to land) if the applicant has title, a lease, easement, easement or other ownership right in the regulated land, or has a contract or option to acquire such an interest. The applicant may also be a natural or legal person who has acquired ownership of the copyright in the work. But to be named as an applicant, a person or organization must own all rights to the work; Ownership of only part of the rights is not sufficient. In addition, an applicant must own the copyright in all authors covered by this registration.
State employment agencies are required to provide applicants with any information that may affect their past, present or future performance. Such communications can cause undue stress to candidates if the information presented is confusing, written at an advanced reading level, or too legalistic. Providing concise, reader-centric information helps reduce burden on applicants and leads to a more positive customer experience. Regulatory and policy experts from DLT and USDOL analyzed the standard decisions sent to applicants, in particular notifications of refusal, overpayment, and appeal, with the goal of rewriting these notices in simpler language. This document provides a template for a revised notification for applicants who have not followed RESEA`s instructions. Step 1: Review federal and state legal requirements. We reviewed Rhode Island`s legal requirements to ensure we are using the correct citations We also thoroughly reviewed the reviews to ensure they contain sufficient information for the requester (in accordance with federal guidelines). In this case, contain enough information: In most cases, you must select “By written agreement”. You can choose this option if: (1) you intend to register the issue as a whole, or you intend to register the entire issue and the individual contributions appearing with that number (such as articles, photos, etc.), and (2) the applicant is not the author of the issue as a whole or individual contributions, and (3) the applicant has obtained the copyright by written agreement. Step 4: Test your content to identify areas of opportunity. This is a best practice of validating changes to eligible documents by researching past or current UI applicants.
Searching with real candidates provides important information about content performance (especially notifications) in the real world. We tested our content after rewriting it, and our research objectives were as follows: If the applicant is not the author of the work, you must provide a transfer statement explaining how the applicant acquired ownership of the copyright. If you are registering a continuous publication with the unique serial number application and the author has not been named as the applicant, you must select one of the statements listed in the dissemination section that explains how the applicant acquired ownership of that work. The options are as follows: A person or organization that is not the author of the work can only be named as a claimant if that party has acquired ownership of all rights, either in writing or by operation of law. A written assignment must be signed by the party transferring the copyright or its authorized representative. Alternatively, copyright may be transferred by testamentary dispositions or by operation of law, such as the Bankruptcy Act or the Community of State Property Act. Please name all known copyright applicants in this work. The author can still be named as the plaintiff, even if he has transferred the rights to the work to another natural or legal person.
In one scenario, we contacted an applicant who had already received some of the communications we were working to reframe. This requester spoke about his personal experience and mentality when he received these communications in the past, as well as any questions or problems he had with previous communications. The applicant also reviewed the revised notice with Rhode Island DLT and USDOL employees, where it also shared its impressions and interpretations of the content and design of the updated form. Clear guidelines for recipients. The UI process is complex and states should strive to empower claimants to make informed eligibility decisions, build confidence in the system, and increase the level of confidence of the claimant. Writing or rewriting your messages in plain language can bring the following benefits: Minimize confusion and stress for the requester. People applying for unemployment insurance are likely to experience much more stress than normal, and it`s important to pay attention to this. To reduce stress for applicants, communications should tell applicants what they need to know, what they need to do, and how they need to do what needs to be done.
If an applicant receives communication that is too complex or difficult to understand, they will not be informed and empowered to act in their best interests, which will add to their stress. We worked with Rhode Island DLT to recruit 3 candidates who have different experiences with unemployment insurance. Participant 1 was a first-time jobless claimant who was eventually approved; Participant 2 has been receiving benefits since this year and was familiar with the decision-making process. and Participant 3 was currently enrolled in the Certificate of Completion at the time of the examination, awaiting a decision by the appeal process. “Applicant” means a person who makes an application or defence under this Chapter. If none of these options apply, you can select “Other” and provide a more detailed explanation in the space provided, explaining how the applicant acquired copyright on each entry and/or subject as a whole, e.g. “by assignment”, “by contract”, etc.). Choose the phrase “By written agreement” if the applicant acquired the copyright in a written agreement.
This includes transfers made “by assignment” or “by contract”. These sample phrases are automatically selected from various online information sources to reflect the current use of the word “applicant”.

States should review their own legal requirements and consult with their regional USDOL representatives to ensure that the information provided in notices complies with federal requirements.
Here we describe the basic steps that States can follow to adopt the plain text. (1) empower a government to regulate or influence, directly or indirectly, the activities or policies of any person other than a government as a condition of receiving funding or other assistance; or Step 3: Structure the information so that it makes sense to your reader. Plain text helps readers understand your content greatly, but information architecture, i.e. how your information is structured, is just as important. Here are some suggestions on how best to structure your information: §2000cc–1. Protection of the religious practice of institutionalized persons A government may avoid the preventive effect of any provision of this chapter by modifying the policy or practice that places a significant burden on religious practice, by maintaining the policy or practice, and by exempting heavily burdened religious practice; Providing exemptions from policy or practice for requests that significantly burden religious practice. or in any other way that removes the significant burden.
