JEFFREY HERSH VS. BOARD OF REVIEW (DEPARTMENT OF LABOR)

**What Happened** Jeffrey Hersh disagreed with a decision made by New Jersey's Board of Review regarding his unemployment benefits. The Board of Review is the state agency that handles appeals when someone is denied unemployment compensation or has their benefits challenged. Hersh felt the Board's decision was wrong, so he took his case to a higher court - the New Jersey Superior Court Appellate Division - asking them to overturn the Board's ruling. **What the Court Decided** Based on the available information, the specific outcome of this appellate court case is not detailed. The case was filed in October 2020, but the court's final decision on whether to uphold or reverse the Board of Review's unemployment benefits determination is not provided in the case summary. **Why This Matters for Workers** This case demonstrates that workers have the right to challenge unemployment benefit decisions through multiple levels of appeal. If a state board denies benefits or rules against a worker, they can take their case to higher courts. This legal pathway provides important protection for workers who believe they've been wrongfully denied unemployment compensation they deserve.
