How to Request a Review
A request for review is submitted, in writing, to the Review Committee Registrar and must include:
- a claim number or account number
- date of the letter containing the decision you are appealing
- the issue(s) you disagree with
- the reason(s) for your disagreement
- what you feel the decision should be
- whether you are requesting an oral hearing rather than a documentary review
A request for review should be addressed to:

The Review Process
Once a Request for Review is received by the Registrar, an acknowledgment letter is sent confirming the issue(s) for review. Interested parties, such as Employers in the case of a Claimant review, are provided a copy of the Request for Review and acknowledgment letter.
A documentary hearing is held approximately 30 working days from receipt of the Request for Review. A written Decision Paper is completed and mailed within 20 days from the date of the hearing.
