Alright here's the deal. I'll try to make a long story as short as possible.
In 11/04 I was terminated without cause. One week later I filed for Unemployment Benefits. On12/03/04, I recieved a Determination on my claim. My benefits were unallowed, and in the correspondance the reason was given.
There was a problem though. The woman who I spoke with and filed my claim, misrepresented the reason that I gave her for seperation. I noticed this and called the processing center.
The rep I spoke to strongly urged me to appeal, considering that a miscommunication in during the inital filing process led to my denial of compensation. In the letter of denial, I was given the cutoff date of 12/27/04 to have my appeal postmarked.
So, I appealed. I wrote an extremely detailed and eloqunet 3 page letter explaining the situation. This letter was mailed on 12/27/04, the last day to have it postmarked. I even asked the teller at the Post Office if I could be assured that it would be postmarked that day, and she assured me that it would. I have a witness that stood there with me.
That brings us to today. Today I recieved a Denial of my Appeal, stating that my letter of Appeal was recieved late, and that the initial determination would stand!?!?!
It took these people 4 months to process my Appeal, and this is what I end up with?
I mailed the letter within the time limits. I did my part.
Now what?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
