RULE §815.182Appeals

(a) A claimant may appeal an adverse FPUC, FRWW, MEUC, PEUC, or PUA determination pursuant to the provisions and timeframes of Chapter 212 of the Act and the provisions set out in §815.16 of this chapter (relating to Appeals to Appeal Tribunals from Determinations), §815.17 of this chapter (relating to Appeals to the Commission from Decisions), and §815.18 of this chapter (relating to General Rules for Both Appeal Stages).

(b) An employer is not a "party of interest," pursuant to §815.15(c) of this chapter (relating to Parties with Appeal Rights), to an FPUC, FRWW, MEUC, PEUC, or PUA determination and therefore does not have appeal rights. An employer may appear at an FPUC, FRWW, MEUC, PEUC, or PUA hearing to offer evidence when appropriate.

(c) When considering an appeal involving FPUC and/or MEUC, the Appeal Tribunal and the Commission shall look to the merits of the denial of the underlying benefit when determining eligibility for FPUC and/or MEUC payments.
