| (a) Any party, other than the system, desiring to contest
any pending application or claim for benefits, shall file with the
director a written statement, setting forth:
(1) the name and address of the party filing such statement
who shall be designated as "contestant";
(2) the name of the party making the application or
claim being contested;
(3) a concise statement of the facts relied on by the
contestant as reasons why the contested application or claim should
be denied; and
(4) a prayer specifying the action which the contestant
desires the system to take.
(b) The statement shall be signed by the contestant,
or by the contestant's duly authorized representative; and must contain
a certificate showing that a true copy of the same was served upon
the applicant, and the date and manner of such service.
(c) Any statement may adopt and incorporate, by specific
reference, any part of any document or entry in the official files
and records of the board or of the system. Such adoption by reference
does not relieve contestant of their burden, under these rules, or
other applicable law, to produce admissible evidence to support their
claims.
(d) If a contestant does not comply with subsection
(a) or (b) of this section, the director may dismiss any such contest
for failure to comply.
