Got a denial letter for unemployment, what now?, forklift operator here

My claim was denied after 20 weeks of waiting, and the letter says I have a short window to appeal. My employer's version of events does not match mine, and I have emails that show it. Did you bring documents or only talk?

I printed my emails in order and wrote a one-page timeline. The hearing officer kept going back to it.

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