Who We Are
The Unemployment Insurance (UI) Appeal Board decides issues of unemployment insurance benefit eligibility and unemployment insurance contribution liability. The Board and its administrative law judges who conduct hearings are independent of the Department of Labor in making these decisions.
What Does The Board Do?
Lower Authority
At the Lower Authority, administrative law judges hold hearings and make decisions concerning determinations made by the Department of Labor regarding claimant’s eligibility to receive unemployment insurance benefits and the liability of employers for unemployment insurance contributions.
Higher Authority
At the Higher Authority, one or more of the Board’s five Members make decisions on appeals by claimants, employers, and the Department of Labor from decisions of the administrative law judges at the Lower Authority.
