UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE - HEARINGS AND APPEALS - REOPENING DEFAULT - CASE NO. 4

Back to Case No. 4 and as a recap:

1. The Claimant was terminated.

2. The Claimant applied for UI benefits.

3. The Employer objected.

4. The DOL investigated.

5. The DOL determined that the Claimant was entitled to benefits.

6. The Employer filed a Request For Hearing.

7. The Employer defaulted at the hearing.

8. The ALJ upheld the determination of the DOL.

9. The Employer filed (it's first of many) application to reopen.

10. The Claimant contacted me for representation.

11. I requested the ALJ to transfer the case to the Garden City office.

12. The ALJ sent a notice of hearing for July 19, 2010.

Then, I reviewed the file, I had the Claimant furnish me with all the information I needed to present the Claimant's case, I researched the law and on July 19, 2010, the Claimant and I appeared - but the Employer defaulted. This is now Default Number 2: although this was my first hearing with the Claimant, this was the second time the Claimant appeared at a hearing and the second time the Employer defaulted.
