How to File an Appeal of an Unemployment Insurance Case Decision An appeal of an unemployment insurance case decision can be requested using form Application for Review, or by letter, filed with the Appeals Tribunal or the Commission within 30 days of the date of the Appeals Tribunal's decision. The Commission's decision becomes final 10 days after it is issued. An appeal of the Commission's decision to the appropriate district of the Missouri Court of Appeals must be filed by mailing the appeal to the Commission within 20 days after the Commission's decision is final. Use the form 8-B Unemployment Insurance Notice of Appeal (Fillable and Printable) to file such an appeal. (Instructions for completing the Form 8-B.) The jurisdiction for all matters not involving a claimant and those involving out-of-state claimants is in the Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District. The jurisdiction for all other matters is in the district of the court of appeals having jurisdiction in the county of the claimant's residence. For a list of the counties within the jurisdiction of each district of the court of appeals, see the Eastern District, Southern District and Western District. If you are an employer, other than a sole proprietor, you must have an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of Missouri file the Form 8-B on your behalf, pursuant to the rules of the Supreme Court of Missouri. The form was promulgated by the Supreme Court and is governed by Supreme Court Rule 100.02. The Labor and Industrial Relations Commission Case Information Form must be completed and returned with the Notice of Appeal if the appeal is to the Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District. NOTE: Claimants for unemployment are not required to submit the $70 filing fee. The filing of the Form 8-B, Notice of Appeal, initiates a civil appeal in the Missouri Court of Appeals. Matters pending before the Court are generally public records. Contact the appropriate division of the Court of Appeals if you have questions or concerns about public access to case information.
