PER CURIAM

        Claimant Erika Levin appeals from a February 23, 2018 final decision of

the Board of Review (Board) denying her claim for unemployment benefits from

her employer, Cherry Hill Township Board of Education t/a Cherry Hill High

School East (Cherry Hill) 1 because she left work "without good cause

attributable to such work." N.J.S.A. 43:21-5(a).

        Pertinent to this appeal, the Board determined Cherry Hill had filed a

timely appeal. Before us, the Board acknowledges Cherry Hill's appeal was

untimely and, accordingly, seeks a remand to reexamine its determination. In

its brief, the Board represents claimant consented to that request. 2 Claimant

does not contend otherwise. Accordingly, we reverse and remand to reconsider

the timeliness of Cherry Hill's appeal from the Appeal Tribunal's decision

awarding claimant benefits, and her eligibility for such benefits.

1
    Cherry Hill did not file a responding brief on appeal.
2
  According to the Board, claimant consented to a remand during a telephone
conversation on August 17, 2018.
                                                                        A-2872-17T4
                                         2
      Vacated and remanded for further proceedings consistent with this

opinion. We do not retain jurisdiction.

                                                                A-2872-17T4
