The hearing officer works for the Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOL). Does it do any good to have the hearing?
Although the hearing officers are employed by DOL, they are independent from the offices that issue the determinations and they are required by law to provide fair hearings. All hearings are tape-recorded. The tapes ensure that an accurate record is kept for possible review at a higher level. Historically, the odds of the appellant prevailing in the hearing are significant. Approximately 30 percent of all appeals result in a decision favorable to the appellant.
