    Default Re: the Appeal Meeting My Employer Asked For

    The UI hearing is not a criminal trial so you are not afforded the constitutional rights of a prosecuted person.

    You can certainly refuse to answer questions that might be used against you in a criminal court but the hearing officer is free to conclude that your silence is an admission of misconduct which is grounds to deny you benefits and require you to pay back whatever you've already collected.

    Not entirely accurate. Witnesses appearing before Congress can, and have, asserted the Fifth Amendment during hearings. No prosecution is occurring but they are still able to. It can also be used in civil court.
