When to make Unemployment Legal objections
A person representing themselves should consider making your legal objections as soon as they believe there is an issue. In other words, do not wait.
What happens after you make a legal objection?
After a person makes a legal objection, the unemployment law judge will make a ruling. This means the judge will decide whether your objection applies and if how it impacts your case going forward.
What if you do not make a legal objection
If a person does not make an objection, the issue of concern likely will become unrecoverable or may not be reviewed going forward.
