Unemployment Insurance Appeals Reversal Rates

The reversal rate is the percentage of the total number of cases heard by an Unemployment Insurance Lower/Higher Authority appellate body that were reversed in favor of the appellant.

The information is also categorized by appellant or moving party:

Claimant Appeals indicate that the claimant was adversely affected by the most recent determination on the issue, and was the appellant or moving party in the case.
Employer Appeals indicate that the employer was adversely affected by the most recent determination on the issue, and was the appellant or moving party in the case.
Other Appeals generally indicate that the state workforce agency or an interested party other than the claimant and employer was adversely affected by the most recent determination on the issue, and was the appellant or moving party in the case.

The measure is computed using data provided on the ETA 5130 Benefit Appeals Report.
