What if I am denied unemployment benefits? Can I appeal the decision?

Yes, if you are denied unemployment benefits in New Jersey, you have the right to appeal the decision. The appeal process allows you to challenge the initial determination if you believe it was made in error. To begin the appeal process, you must file an appeal within 10 calendar days from receiving the determination notice. You can file an appeal online, by mail, or in-person at your local New Jersey Division of Unemployment office. It is crucial to provide any supporting documents or evidence that may strengthen your case. An Appeal Tribunal will review your case, conduct a hearing if necessary, and render a decision. If you disagree with the Appeal Tribunal's decision, you can further appeal to the New Jersey Board of Review. Remember to carefully follow all deadlines and requirements to ensure your appeal is considered.
