Rhode Island General Laws Title 28. Labor and Labor Relations § 28-43-13. Appeals to the board of review

In the event that any application for refund or credit is denied, the director shall notify the applicant in writing of that decision. Unless the applicant, within fifteen (15) days after the notice of denial has been mailed to the applicant's last known address, files an appeal in writing with the board of review setting forth the grounds for that appeal, the denial shall be final. If an appeal is duly filed, the board of review shall then set a time and place to give the appellant an opportunity to show cause as to why the decision of the director should be changed. Following that hearing, the board of review shall, as promptly as possible, notify the appellant and the director of its decision on the application. That decision shall become final unless the appellant or the director files an appeal to the sixth division of the district court in accordance with the provisions of §§ 28-44-51 -- 28-44-55.
