This chapter is adopted pursuant to Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 48-607, 48-634 and 48-635. It governs the procedures to be followed regarding appeals from disputed unemployment benefit claims as set out in the Nebraska Employment Security Law (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 48-601, et seq.). Because the overwhelming number of these hearings involve unrepresented, unemployed parties who cannot afford legal counsel, these rules do not incorporate the more formalized rules of procedure for administrative hearings adopted by the Attorney General in accordance with Neb. Rev. Stat. § 84-909.01.
