Unemployment Appeal Hearing - Employer Did Not Show

[ofantastic]

My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: Florida.

I had a telephone appeal hearing this morning based on the fact my employer denied my unemployment benefits request saying "I quit voluntarily". However, I put in my two weeks notice and was "let go" the same day, that afternoon. I continued claiming weeks and explained my story to the hearing officer this morning. I also explained I was seeking employment elsewhere due to the fact that my immediate supervisor and me were in an "unprofessional" relationship that included him serving me alcohol when I was under the age of 21, sexual emails, and his wife harassing me on social networking website's after wards.

Anyways, I had the hearing and I was told I should receive a decision letter within 4-5 business days.

If the employer does NOT show, do I automatically get my decision turnaround for my approval?

If so, how long after wards does it take to get benefits? I have about 10 weeks claimed, backed up.

Is it all paid out in one lump sum?

Thanks.

If the employer does not show, that greatly increases the chances that you will prevail but it does not guarantee it.

How soon afterwards you will get your back benefits if you prevail depends on how backed up the local UI office is.

In my state you get it in one lump sum; I do not know about Florida.

Thanks for the help. I won. Got my letter today.. it was mailed the 24th.

Now waiting for the check. Thanks again.



Also if anyone in Florida one, let me know how long it took for yours.
