Appeal deadline questions after an unemployment denial after 15 years as an HR coordinator

My claim was denied after 14 weeks of waiting, and the letter says I have a short window to appeal. There are 15 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I have not done a hearing before and I am nervous.

Stay calm and stick to facts. Mine lasted about thirty minutes and felt more like a conversation than a trial.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
