Unemployment Insurance - Appeals - Massachusetts

If an individual does not agree with the amount of wages reported to the Division of Employment and Training (DET) by the Department of Revenue and he or she can provide proof of earnings from the employer(s), DET will request wage information directly from the employer.

If it is determined that there are not enough wages under either Base Period to establish a UI claim, or if the individual continues to disagree with the amount of wages reported, an appeal may be made and a hearing may be held.

DET provides information about how to file an appeal.

The Massachusetts Employment and Training Law allows any interested party - employer or employee - who disputes a determination or decision to request a hearing.

The DET appeals process offers a three-level review of a disputed claim:

· First-level appeals, which dispute the determination of the local DET office, are heard by impartial review examiners assigned to the DET Hearings Department.

· Second-level appeals, which dispute a decision of a DET review examiner, may be reviewed by the Board of Review, a three-member panel appointed by the governor and administered independently of DET. The board may uphold, reverse or modify the decision of the review examiner.

· Appeals to the District Court are allowed by law if a party disagrees with a decision of the Board of Review. A party dissatisfied with a District Court decision may appeal that decision to the Massachusetts Appeals Court.
