About the Board of Review
The Board of Review is the highest appellate level within the Department of Labor and Workforce Development for deciding Unemployment and Temporary Disability Insurance benefit disputes, including demands for refunds of benefits.
Decisions issued by the Appeal Tribunal, the lower appellate level, will become final unless an interested party to a decision files an appeal in writing to the Board of Review within twenty days of the date of mailing or notification of the issued decision.
If you have any questions or comments regarding the Board of Review in general, please email us at boardofreview@dol.nj.gov, or write to us at:

The Board of Review normally does not conduct hearings. Most appeals to the Board of Review are decided based on the record created at the Appeal Tribunal hearing. Therefore, it is important to provide a detailed written argument to the Board of Review when protesting an Appeal Tribunal decision.
In rendering a decision, the Board of Review either affirms, modifies, or reverses the decision of the Appeal Tribunal.
When affirming an Appeal Tribunal decision, the Board of Review has agreed with the decision of the Appeal Tribunal and the decision will stand.
Modifying the decision of an Appeal Tribunal means the Board of Review has changed the decision in some way. A modification may be favorable or unfavorable to the appellant of an Appeal Tribunal decision.
When reversing an Appeal Tribunal decision, the Board of Review has disagreed with the decision of the Appeal Tribunal. This means that the appellant of an Appeal Tribunal decision has prevailed.
If an interested party has any questions regarding a decision of the Board of Review, the party may contact the Board of Review by emailing boardofreview@dol.nj.gov or calling 609-292-2600.
A remand by the Board of Review means the matter is being returned to the Appeal Tribunal or the Division Deputy to supplement the record, or for some other stated reason which may affect entitlement to benefits.
