Client Granted Unemployment Benefits
Ruth O’Meara-Costello represented a client in an unemployment case who was originally denied benefits upon leaving her position. The Department of Unemployment Assistance denied her these benefits on grounds that she was not available for work and on the grounds that she voluntarily quit. Ruth advocated for her client’s eligibility for benefits in two separate hearings appealing the denial and successfully reversed the original decision, winning both hearings and getting her client her deserved benefits.
