Welcome from John A. King, Esq., Chairman
Welcome to the Board of Review. With this website, we hope to help parties, their agents, attorneys, and representatives better understand the Board of Review's role in unemployment appeals. Approximately 3,000 appeals are submitted to the Board each year. Of those, we accept about a third for review. Our mission is to preserve each party's right to due process, to carefully apply the law to the facts, and to render fair decisions in every case that comes before the Board.

Board of Review
The Board of Review is an independent quasi-judicial tribunal created by the state legislature under G.L. c. 23N(b) and G.L. c. 151A, sec. 41. We have jurisdiction to hear appeals of unemployment insurance claims and other unemployment matters. We are the last step in the administrative appeals process before a case may be appealed to court.
The Board posts key decisions on this site. Several dozen decisions have been posted and additional decisions will be posted on an-ongoing basis to help parties, their attorneys, and their representatives better understand important aspects of unemployment insurance law.
