What Are My Appeal Rights?

If you disagree with any decision made by the Department, you have the right to file an appeal. You have the right to appeal both benefit determinations for your former employees and tax status determinations.

All appeals must be submitted in writing. Appeals protesting tax determinations must be filed within 15 calendar days of the date the decision was mailed. Rate appeals must be filed within 30 days of the date on the rate notice.
