Unemployment Insurance Appeals
When Is An Appeal Necessary?
After the Oregon Employment Department (OED) has received a claim for Unemployment Insurance (UI) Benefits, the agency investigates the claim and then issues a written document, known as an "Administrative Decision", either granting or denying the claimant's qualification for benefits.
In either circumstance, however, the party that "loses" -- either the Claimant (former employee) if UI benefits are denied, or the Respondent (former employer) if benefits are awarded -- has the right to file an appeal of the OED's decision.
Time Frame For Appeal
Once the OED has made its initial decision as to an claimant's entitlement to UI benefits, it mails a written Administration Decision to the parties to the mailing address the department has on file. Once the decision is mailed, a party has only 20 days to file an appeal.
