Some decisions cannot be appealed to the Board of Referees, such as decisions about how many hours you worked, or whether your job was insured under the EI system. Such "insurability" questions must be appealed within 90 days to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), with a further appeal to the Minister of National Revenue and the Tax Court.

Choosing the right type of appeal can be tricky. In the example above, if you have worked 690 hours in a region where 700 hours are required, the Referees couldn't allow your claim because you worked 10 fewer hours than the Act requires. But the CRA could decide that you should have received credit for 10 more hours of overtime than the employer acknowledged. In that case you would qualify. If in doubt about right type of appeal to file, seek legal advice.
