This takes place in the state of Ohio.
I've been on Unemployment Benefits since mid-december while trying to find a job. In Ohio, you must file an appeal within 21 calendar days after determination is finalized. I received notice in April from Ohio unemployment that my previous employer had filed an appeal. I replied to the appeal and won the re-determination because of their four month late file and lack of description in appeal.
I have just received another notice that they appealed the appeal of the re-determination and that I now have to participate in a telephone interview to discuss, "Did the appeallant file a timely appeal to the initial determination with the Director?"
Has anyone been through this before? Do you have suggestions on how I should handle it, myself, and my argument? They have an option--I can request an in-person hearing in place of the telephone hearing. Would an in-person hearing be beneficial to me or does it matter? Should I get a lawyer to handle this? Am I overreacting?
Suggestions for this scenario would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
