Filing Unemployment Insurance Appeals

For each determination made regarding eligibility for UI benefits, a notice of the decision will be mailed to the affected parties. If you believe the decision made by the Department is incorrect, you have the right to file an appeal.

Your written appeal must be mailed, faxed, or submitted electronically to the Department within 15 calendar days of the date the decision was mailed to you.
