Terms Used In Alaska Statutes 23.20.460

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • claimant: means an individual who has filed a request for a determination of insured status, a notice of unemployment, a certification for waiting-week credit, or a claim for benefits. See Alaska Statutes 23.20.520

A claimant may not be charged fees or costs of any kind by the department, its representative, an appeal tribunal, a court, or a court officer. However, a court may assess costs against the claimant if it determines that the proceedings for judicial review have been instituted without reasonable grounds.
