Representation At Unemployment Hearings

Unemployment Hearings Representation Form

What are my chances of winning an unemployment appeal hearing without a hearing representative?

Well I can't cite any official source, but I'd say it's pretty much the same as the 29 percent of the total unemployed that actually received benefits in 2011.

I know from past experience working on behalf of employers that the surest advantage you can have for winning an unemployment appeal hearing is a highly experienced Unemployment Appeal Representative.

And because you are unemployed I believe the costs of that representation should be reasonable when compared to the amount of benefits you have to gain .. or lose.

A Little Info About Representatives for Unemployment Appeal Hearings

Most states allow any non-attorney to be a representative, but they still have to know their stuff when it comes to representation at hearings. That's a specialized skill.

A skill that means you now have much better odds of winning your unemployment appeal so you can avoid being benefitless or worse yet, having to repay any benefits.

But it's difficult to find experienced non-attorney unemployment reps willing to advocate claimants.

The highly experienced unemployment hearings rep .. works as an employee or independently contracts their services out to cost control as that is the steadiest income stream.

However, I've found a few highly experienced independent contractors that will also take claimant cases and employers on at unemployment appeal hearings.

I think they're doing a great job and you can also show your appreciation for the difference they made here. You only need to tell us what state you're from!!

These two states are the only attorney states I'm able to hook you up with an attorney for your appeal.

The Cost of Unemployment Representation

This depends on the time and complexities involved for your case.

But before you're expected to pay a dime, there will be a free consultation so the rep can evaluate the win-ability of your specific case.

Prepping Services

Then being prepped by a professional hearing rep is the next best thing.

The prep will include a review of your case and any documents.

You will also be contacted by phone to discuss your case in more detail and learn how/what you need to do at that hearing to win.

You will also receive a customized outline prepared by the hearing rep you speak with to follow throughout the hearing.

The cost of this service will be somewhere around $200.

Unemployment Hearings Services

I'm also interested in hearing from those offering hearing representation or any other type of service that would be useful to an unemployed person.
