As an employment attorney, I get calls every single day from people who have recently learned that their claim for unemployment benefits has been denied. It is clear, that most of these callers are in a state of complete panic. The callers often have no idea why they were denied unemployment benefits, or what they can do to fight for the benefits they deserve.
Unemployment insurance is supposed to be a saving grace for hardworking people, to prevent them from living in complete poverty while they search for a new job. For many, the ability to successfully appeal this denial of unemployment benefits literally means the difference between eating and starvation.
Unfortunately, many employees are at a distinct advantage in appealing their unemployment benefits denial. Many companies have designated human resources employees, or even attorneys, that represent them in many unemployment hearings throughout the year. Through this experience, they become knowledgeable about the process and learn exactly what works, and what does not.
However, you, as the employee, are usually a one-time player. Most people have never gone through the process of an unemployment appeal, and therefore do not know what to expect. This lack of knowledge regarding the rules, procedures, and techniques can be devastating to your case.
While I would love to help each and every person who calls my office regarding the denial of unemployment benefits, it is simply not economically feasible for my firm, or the unemployed individual to do so. Attorneys generally charge between $200 and $400 per hour for such representation, and most newly laid off workers simply cannot afford this. Simultaneously, the practice of law is an extremely competitive business, and the attorney who spends his entire day giving out free advice over the phone will not be in business very long.
It is for this reason that I chose to write this guide. While this guide is not legal advice, and should not be taken as such, if read thoroughly, it will provide you with the background information, strategies, sample documents and practical tips necessary to allow you to have the best possible chance of success in successfully appealing your denial of benefits.
Wishing you the best of luck in your unemployment appeal,
