Appeal a Decision Online

The easiest way to appeal a decision is by using OATH's universal online Appeal Application form because it will send the appeal at the same time to both the Hearings Division Appeals Unit and the agency that issued you the summons.  If you do not file your appeal online, there will be extra steps you need to take to file your appeal by mail.

You must submit your online appeal within 30 days of the date of the decision, or 35 days if the decision was mailed to you.

If you have questions about your deadlines, contact the OATH Help Center at Manhelpcenter@oath.nyc.gov.

The electronic Appeal Application form is available below.

When you have completed the application, click the Submit button at the end of the form to finalize and submit the Appeal Application form to the Appeals Unit.
