You don't go to "court" to appeal a UI decision. Decisions are appealed to the UI agency. In the letter they sent her denying her benefits, there should be information about her appeal rights and how to file an appeal.

thanks for your reply...sorry i know you dont actually go to court...ive attended some only as a supervisor for a company...but never had to do one myself.
she received a letter saying it will be 8-10 weeks before her hearing would be and she is i guess questioning that, like it took 8 weeks to hear something then another 8-10 weeks to appeal it...either way she is screwed no money and cant find a job. she thinks it shouldnt take that long for the hearing, and that they have something against her personally, like it wasnt handled correctly. humm
thanks though for replying....ill let her know...

The UI office has nothing against her personally. They don't even know her personally. As each appeal comes in it is put on the calendar in the next available spot. It so happened that when her appeal came in the next available spot was 8-10 weeks away. She is not the only one appealing her decision - they can't hear each and every case in a matter of days.

If she quit her job the odds are very much against her prevailing in an appeal.
