interested party of the determinations and reasons therefor for
the determinations. Subject to subsection 11, unless the
claimant or any such interested party, within 15 calendar days
after that notification was mailed to his the claimant's last
known address, files an appeal from that determination, that
determination shall be is final, provided except that the period
within which an appeal may be filed may be extended, for a period
not to exceed an additional 15 calendar days, for good cause

determination become known to the deputy prior to the date that
determination becomes final, a redetermination is authorized, but

made, written notice shall be mailed to the claimant and other
interested parties, which shall must include the issue to be
decided, the law upon which it is based, any factual allegations
known to the bureau, the right to a fact-finding interview, the
