Appeals - State Plan

If you disagree with any written determination you receive on your family leave insurance claim, you may file an appeal. Each determination contains a written statement concerning your appeal rights. All appeals must be in writing and may be mailed, faxed or sent by e-mail. A link is provided for you to e-mail your appeal. Be sure to complete all fields including your telephone number.

Your appeal request must be received or postmarked within seven (7) days after delivery of the determination or ten (10) days after the date of mailing of the determination, except an appeal from a Demand for Refund. An appeal from a Demand for Refund must be received or postmarked within twenty (20) calendar days after delivery of the notice or twenty-four (24) days after the mailing date of the notice.

When an appeal is filed, you will be notified by mail of the date, time and location of an appeals hearing. Your appearance before an Appeal Tribunal examiner will not cost you anything. It is not necessary to bring an attorney to the hearing but you may be represented by an attorney or anyone else you choose. You will receive the results of the hearing by mail.
