Yes. Practically every action of the division affecting an employer or a worker may be appealed for review by an impartial referee or hearing officer.
Appeals from benefit determinations may be made by either the employer or the claimant and are heard by an Appeals Branch referee. Be sure to include the social security
number and/or the employer number of the claimant when sending documentation. If either party is dissatisfied with the decision of the referee, a further appeal may be filed with the Unemployment Insurance Commission, and, thereafter, through the courts.
Appeals for tax determinations (employer-employee relationship, liability determinations, tax rate, notices of assessments, etc.) are filed directly with the Unemployment Insurance Commission. Parties who are dissatisfied with a decision of the commission may continue their appeals through the Franklin County Circuit Court.
The chart below summarizes the steps in the appeals process. Please pay particular attention to the number of days specified for each type of appeal- FILING YOUR APPEAL ON TIME IS ESSENTIAL FOR PROTECTING YOUR APPEAL RIGHTS. Remember that appeals from claims must be filed from the very first notice you receive.
