NEW YORK UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE - APPEALS TO APPEAL BOARD

Note first - "The request to make such arrangements must be made within seven days from the date of the notice of receipt of appeal."

This presents a problem when claimants seek counsel after they file a notice of appeal. Many times, the claimant has failed to make a request for the transcript. In my experience, I cannot adequately file a statement of appeal just based upon the information contained in the adverse decision of the ALJ.
