Is it possible to win a 2nd appeal for nonpayment unemployment benefits?

Question

I was denied 2 weeks of unemployment benifits because I did not register with the workforce within 3 days. The booklet says payment can be "delayed or denied" if I have not registered within the 3 days. I was hanging on the words "delayed" but when I had the appeal hearing over the phone I was denied. I now have 14 days to request a 2nd appeal to the Commission. My argument is that I was not aware of this requirement. My company closed and filed the claim on everyone's behalf and I was under the understanding that all I would have to do is do the required number of work searches stated by the Tx Workforce Commission, which were 3. I am still searching for a job and these 2 weeks of umemployment are very much needed. Is it pointless or do I have a chance?

Answer 1

Ignorance of the law is seldom a valid defense. You usually need to show some cause for unavoidable delay for missing the deadline.

If your former company misled you, you could always file a suit against the company, although if they have closed it probably wouldn't do much good.

Answer 2

I truthfully have considered unemployment appeals a three hundred and sixty 5 days or so from the truthfully date of the award of the money to the worker the actuality the enterprise did no longer retract on a well timed bases or grew to become into sluggish to react is going to have little bases on the allure listening to its self, in the event that they are granted the allure you are able to attempt an argue on the listening to they did no longer well timed respond, yet whilst the examiner we could the allure flow forward then you definately could have matters along with your leaving the enterprise it may be voluntary stop meaning a non-fraud refund would be due and owing via you for the monies paid out

Answer 3
