I received an 8 day notice for a hearing (which seems kind of short to me) to reopen my case. I missed my first hearing because I was away at a job fair/Conference and also I needed time to get a lawyer.
Im basically trying to get two months back pay because I filed late because I wanted to wait to get all the documents from the Dept of Labor about my work environment violations. I didnt want to go through the entire appeal process and I felt I may be denied benefits since I quit my job. I waited for these documents which took about two months, and of course, I was pretty quickly approved for UI.
Now Im trying to get my 2 months back pay. I was wondering if I get a lawyer, would I have to go myself to the hearing? May I send someone else in place of me, ie a lawyer to state this, because I have another conflict at that time, and I feel like the one week notices by the DOL in NY are kind of ridiculous to try and secure an attorney and everything
Uh, that's kinda why you hire an attorney in advance instead of waiting until the last minute. One week notice is ample time.
Not if you are in Haiti volunteering or at another conference
Sheesh people complain about waiting to get this kind of stuff resolved and this poster keeps having vacation, oh I mean networking and volunteering "conflicts" affecting her ability to be available.
You can't get backdated benefits anyway, because you didn't file. Benefits start when you file. If you need more documentation after you file, they will let you know, and if you are approved, they will make payments going back to the date you filed.
Hi NYUI or others in the forum who had experiences with backdated UI appeal and won..
did you end up getting the 2 months backdated UI? Also did you go through a telephone or in person hearing?
Could you walk me through your hearing please? I just got an unsatisfied determination and am looking to appeal for a hearing in the next few days.
Appreciate all your help.
