Individuals who are separated from their employers for any reason other than a lack of work, such as voluntary leaving or discharge, will need an adjudication appointment. Claimants may also need adjudication for non-separation issues such as refusal of work, not being able and available for full time work, and deductible income such as private pensions and severance pay.

Claimants scheduled for adjudication will receive written notification of a hearing date and time.  All hearings are held over the phone. Claimants will be advised to continue using Teleserve via the internet (https://teleserve.dlt.ri.gov ) or over the phone (401-243-9600) while pending an adjudication decision. If allowed benefits the Unemployment Insurance Unit will release payments due. If the claimant is denied benefits he/she has the right to appeal that decision and must do so in writing within fifteen (15) days of the mailing date of the decision. Decisions may be appealed over the internet at www.dlt.ri.gov/ui/FormsUI.htm or by mail at the following address:
