Denied unemployment, how do I appeal? after 18 years as a quality inspector

My claim was denied after 23 weeks of waiting, and the letter says I have a short window to appeal. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I have not done a hearing before and I am nervous. Did you bring documents or only talk?

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

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
