Appeals to the Board of Review If the referee decides that you cannot collect benefits, you may appeal that decision to the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review.
Appeals to the Commonwealth Court If the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review decides against you, you have 30 days from the date of the Board's written decision to appeal to the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania.
