Submit an Appeal: Tax Rates and Successions

Employers must assign the Account Maintenance Update and Submit role to their agent in order for the agent to submit an appeal on their behalf.

Effective April 1, 2010, MN Statue 268.103, Subd. 2a. requires that all appeals filed by agents on behalf of an employer must be filed online. This is effective for all department determinations and unemployment law judge decisions issued on or after that date. Use of another method of filing by an agent does not constitute an appeal. Agents, who have not been assigned the proper role to file an employer’s appeal online, must instruct the employer to file the appeal.

To appeal Tax rates and Successions, use the below steps.  (For Determinations and Decision appeals, see Submit an Appeal: Determinations and Decisions.)
