Unemployment Benefit Appeals
At The Georgia Department of Labour
| "Cessation of work is not accompanied by cessation of expenses." |
| - Cato the Elder |
In these difficult economic times, sudden unemployment is a harsh reality for many hard-working Georgians. A sudden loss of income can very quickly lead to foreclosure, car repossession, eviction, or credit card collection. While they look for new ever-elusive employment, they have the right to depend on the unemployment insurance that they have paid into from every paycheck. Unfortunately, many find themselves in the midst of a multi-level appeal process.
An unemployment appeal at the Georgia Department of Labour involves two main stages, after the initial determination of benefits. First, the appeal is heard by an Administrative Hearing Officer, and his or her decision can be further appealed to a Board of Review appointed by the Governor. There may even be a third "show-cause" hearing. The Law Office of Charles Jones has handled unemployment benefit hearings at every stage, and we prepare each case as thoroughly as if we were preparing for Court.
If you have been denied unemployment benefits, or if you have received benefits but your employer is appealing, you would be well advised to have an Attorney fighting for you in the hearing room. Contact us today and let us help!
