NEW FEE RULES FOR UNEMPLOYMENT CASES

Following yesterday's post, a review of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board website homepage notes at the bottom:

"Certain aspects of the Appeal Board’s Attorney Fee Rule, Rule 460.6, [12 NYRR Part 460.6], are no longer being enforced: the definition of benefits allowed and the 20 percent cap on fees. Pending promulgation of a new Rule please refer to Labor Law section 538 and follow the instructions found in the “Certification of Services”, which can be found under the Resource tab on the UIAB website. For further guidance please call the Appeal Board at 518-408-0428"
