Maine Petition for Review of Extended Benefits Awarded Due to Extreme Financial Hardship is a process for Maine residents to appeal an unemployment insurance benefits decision. This process is available for individuals who have been denied extended benefits due to extreme financial hardship, such as a natural disaster, job loss, or illness. This petition is used to request an administrative review of the decision. There are two types of Maine Petition for Review of Extended Benefits Awarded Due to Extreme Financial Hardship: one for individuals seeking an appeal of a denial of extended benefits, and one for individuals seeking an appeal of an award of extended benefits. In both cases, petitioners must include sufficient evidence to support their claim, such as proof of extreme financial hardship, and must provide a detailed explanation of the circumstances. If the review is successful, the individual may have their extended benefits approved.
