Unemployment Appeal Letter in Delaware
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 Delaware law says
| Appealing a denial | You may appeal within 10 calendar days of the date of the Notice of Determination and request a hearing before an appeals referee; appeals must be filed in person at the local office or postmarked within that time. A referee's decision may be appealed to the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board within 10 days of its mailing date. Keep requesting weekly benefits while your appeal is pending. |
|---|---|
| If you were fired | You may be denied benefits if you were discharged for just cause in connection with your work, such as lateness, unexcused absences, or violating company rules. |
| If you quit | You may be denied benefits if you quit your job voluntarily without good cause attributable to your work. In an appeal hearing about a quit, you have the burden of proving good cause. |
