Unemployment Appeal Letter in Alaska
A letter appealing a denial of unemployment benefits. Appeal deadlines are short and strict in every state — file before the deadline shown below, even if you are still gathering documents, and keep claiming benefits each week while the appeal is pending if your state allows it.
What Alaska law says
| Appealing a denial | You may appeal within 30 days of the written determination. Appeal by phone, fax, mail or email to your UI claim center or the Appeals office (appeals@alaska.gov; fax (907) 308-2868; toll-free (800) 232-4762). Keep filing for benefits while your appeal is pending. |
|---|---|
| If you were fired | If you were fired for misconduct connected with your work, you face a six-week disqualification starting with the first week you are unemployed, plus a three-week reduction in your benefits, and you may also be ineligible for Extended Benefits. If you go back to work during the disqualification period, contact a claim center, because the disqualification may be lifted. You must report a firing accurately on your claim. |
| If you quit | If you quit without good cause, you face a six-week disqualification starting with the first week you are unemployed, plus a three-week reduction in your benefits, and you may also be ineligible for Extended Benefits. If you go back to work during the disqualification period, contact a claim center, because the disqualification may be lifted. |
