Since 1977, Cornell Cooperative Extension s unemployment program has been self-insured. The associations are billed when the self-insured fund needs replenishment. The firm of R.E. Harrington, Inc. verifies and monitors claims for benefits and represents extension associations at unemployment insurance claims hearings. Extension associations should cooperate fully in providing R.E. Harrington, Inc. with all information needed for claims hearings. Once an employee has filed a claim, their local New York State unemployment office will forward a special unemployment assistance claim form to FHAR for completion.
