Description

Due to unprecedented unemployment insurance claims during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department and the Office of Administrative Hearings have a backlog of 40,947 pending appeals as of December 31, 2021, more than twice the totals from 2020 and nearly twenty times more than 2019. To address the backlog, the Department is adopting a brief adjudicative proceeding process. The Department anticipates that this new process will eliminate between 30 to 60 minutes per case, closing an additional 130 to 260 appeals each week.
