UNEMPLOYMENT APPEALS?

Unemployment appeals and determination?

• Hello there, does anyone here think they can help me out with some accurate information? You see, I had been on Unemployment for about a year until, I found a job working at a Thrift Store a month ago. The job proved to be too far of a commute from my home, so on only the third day of my being employed there-- my boss and I came to the mutual agreement that it would be best for me to find another job, and I resigned. I tried to claim my regular benefits from Unemployment thereafter, only to be met with a phone interview by them concerning the reason I quit. Once I told them that the commute was not feasible to me-- they told me they would have to call the job to verify the story. Only for them to call me back and tell me that my boss said I quit because I was "pregnant" and couldn't work! Which is completely false, I am not sure if she had me confused with another employee, but needless to say she set me aback with unemployment with her statement. So at this point I've been told Im waiting on a letter of "determination" regarding my benefits. What exactly does that mean? And in the event that the letter entails I was denied my benefits--how soon can I appeal and how likely would it be for me to win said appeal? My employer clearly provided a false testimony!!

• Answer:

  Go back and get a letter from the employer saying why you quit and it would help to indicate how much money you made and had to spend on gas to get there. Send copies of both of those things to Unemployement Appeals and made them sign for them when you send them
