Adjudication

When we become aware of issues that call into question whether someone can receive benefits, we are legally required to look into it. While many issues can be resolved with quick follow up questions, many times it requires a more thorough investigation through an adjudication process. Some common issues that require adjudication:

1. If someone quits their job, determining if the circumstances disqualify them from getting benefits
2. If someone is fired, finding out if the circumstances disqualify them from getting benefits
3. If someone does not accept work that is offered to them, finding out if the circumstances disqualify them from getting benefits
4. For people who work for educational institutions, we must adjudicate every break between school years or terms, to determine whether they are likely to be doing the same type of work after the break as they did before the break to decide if they can receive benefits during the break
5. If someone is not available for work
