Sample Unemployment Appeal Letter

An Unemployment Appeal Letter is a written statement prepared by a former employee who wants to dispute an unemployment agency's decision not to provide them with unemployment benefits. Whether you quit or were forced to leave your job due to downsizing or a discipline issue, it is possible the local unemployment agency does not approve your application for benefits or your ex-employer mistakenly informs them you are not entitled to any compensation. Compose a letter to dispute this judgment and qualify for unemployment benefits.

A Sample Unemployment Appeal Letter can be found through the link below - complete and file it as soon as you are refused benefits. You need to explain why you think the agency should approve your application - for instance, the employer failed to report your wages correctly or misrepresented the situation to portray you in a negative light. Briefly describe the circumstances that have led to your unemployment. Enclose documentation that proves your point - an employment agreement, pay stubs, witness statements from your former colleagues that will support your claim. If the unemployment agency needs more details, they will schedule a hearing to know more about your dismissal.
