UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE

Yesterday, I attended a CLE seminar on Unemployment Insurance Hearings sponsored by the Queens County Bar Association. As some of you know, the Department of Labor has on its websire The Interpretation Service Index, which "is a compilation of rules based on Appeal Board and Court decisions interpreting the Unemployment Insurance Law. It is intended to report, in summary form, decisions of current legal validity.
Each Index entry followed by an A-750 number is reported in its entirety in the Interpretation Service release of that number with commentary on its implementation. The Interpretation Services releases are also available for examination in the UI Appeal Board library, which is open to the public. This Index is updated periodically by publication of Interpretation Service releases (A-750 series) reporting relevant new decisions." I was advised at the seminar that, for various reasons, the website Index has not been updated regularly and that recent decisions from the Appeal Board and Court decisions has been more "pro-claimant".
