Withdraw a Board of Review appeal

If you filed an appeal with the Board of Review (BOR), you may choose to withdraw your appeal at any time before the Board renders a decision.
A request for withdrawal must be submitted before the Board renders a decision. Once the Board renders its decision, it cannot honor a request to withdraw an appeal.

After a request for withdrawal is submitted

If a party withdraws the appeal on Unemployment Services, the online system will send a Notice of Withdrawal to both parties, and the appeal will be dismissed.

If a party withdraws the appeal by sending a letter, email, or fax to the Board of Review, the Board will mail both parties a Notice of Withdrawal, and the Board will dismiss the appeal on Unemployment Services.

More info

An appeal that is pending before the Board of Review may only be withdrawn by the party that filed the appeal, or by that party’s representative.

Once an appeal is withdrawn from the Board of Review, the Hearings Department decision shall be the final decision.

A party that withdraws its appeal to the Board of Review may lose the right to further appeal to the District Court.
