1. What if my employer protests my claim?
If the employer provides a protest to the UI claim you have filed, your entitlement to benefits will be in question and the issue of eligibility on the claim will need to be resolved.  Before a determination is made on the issue, you and the employer will be contacted to provide statements and information regarding the issue.


 

2.What if my employer appeals an initial determination in which I have been approved for benefits?
Unless your eligibility is overturned during the appeals process, you will continue to collect benefits, if otherwise eligible.  Therefore, if you are paid benefits and an appealed determination or decision is reversed and you are disqualified, your benefits will stop.  Following the entire appeals process, if you are disqualified, you may be required to repay benefits that you have received.


 

3.How do I appeal my claim if I am disqualified from receiving Unemployment Insurance benefits?
If you wish to appeal the “Notice of Disqualification”, you may request a hearing by completing the bottom on the reverse side of the disqualification notice.  You may mail, fax, or appear in person at any DUA Walk-in Center with your request for a hearing. Your request must be in writing and filed within 10 calendar days of the mailing date on the Notice of Disqualification.  >>Additional information for filing an appeal.
 


4. What if I am overpaid?
If you receive benefits to which you were not entitled, you will have an “overpayment.” When you are determined to be overpaid you will be asked to repay the overpaid amount to DUA.  As with other determinations on your claim, you will have the right to appeal your overpayment determination.   >>Additional information on overpayments.
