US Department of Labor’s Administrative Review Board launches major website improvements to simplify appeals process for workers

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Labor’s Administrative Review Board today announced an overhaul of its website to increase transparency and provide the public with a greater understanding of its processes and procedures.

Tasked with issuing appellate decisions for cases related to worker protection laws, the Administrative Review Board’s website updates will improve workers’ ability to file, track, and process cases, while also allowing the board to act with more transparency. 

The board’s website improvements include streamlined navigation features; improved access to research and guidance; and a frequently asked questions page with fresh insights on a variety of key topics, like submitting new evidence, finding case status updates, and responding to different motions. Providing easier access to this information will help involved parties better understand critical procedures in a timely manner.

“A hallmark of President Trump’s Administration is ensuring that American workers and businesses have all the tools they need to comply with the law and have streamlined access to all of Department’s resources,” said Deputy Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling. “In taking these steps, we can help demystify the law and improve efficiency in the Department’s Administrative Review Board.” 

“While we can’t simplify these statutes, we can make it easier for workers, particularly those not represented by counsel, to understand the administrative steps they must follow in pursuing their cases before the Administrative Review Board,” said Randel Johnson, Chair and Chief Judge of the Administrative Review Board.
