KATHLEEN MOZGAI VS. BOARD OF REVIEW (BOARD OF REVIEW, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR)

**Unemployment Benefits Appeal Case** This case involved Kathleen Mozgai challenging a decision by New Jersey's Board of Review regarding her unemployment benefits. The Board of Review is part of the Department of Labor and handles appeals when workers disagree with initial unemployment benefit decisions. Mozgai filed this appeal in 2020, though the specific reasons for the dispute aren't detailed in the available information. The court's final decision and reasoning aren't provided in the case summary, so it's unclear whether Mozgai won or lost her appeal, or what specific unemployment issues were at stake. **What This Means for Workers:** This case highlights an important right that all workers have when dealing with unemployment benefits. If the state initially denies your unemployment claim or makes a decision you disagree with, you can appeal that decision to the Board of Review. If you're still not satisfied with the Board's decision, you can take your case to court, just as Mozgai did. Workers should know they have multiple levels of appeal available when fighting for unemployment benefits they believe they're entitled to receive.
