NEW YORK UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE - APPEALS TO APPEAL BOARD

If a timely request for a transcript has not been made, of course one should note Appeal Board Rule Section 463.2(h):

"In the interest of justice and without prejudice to the substantial rights of any party, and upon good cause shown, the board, on its own motion or on application duly made to it, in its discretion, may excuse a default of a party at any stage of a case or appeal. A party who shows good cause for the default shall be entitled to consideration of the case or appeal as if no default had occurred."
