Unemployment Appeal Hearing After Employer Is Out of Business
My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: California
I was denied Unemployment from a small privately owned retail store for ridiculous reasons (Employer needed a reason to cut hours so they went on a firing rampage) which is irrelevant to my question. I received the notice a couple days ago that my appeals hearing is being scheduled. The employer has since gone out of business completely and one of the owners moved away. I doubt that they will be showing up for the hearing because it doesn't concern them anymore.
My questions are;
1) Do the employer responsibilities follow if the company goes out of business or sells to another company? (paying unemployment benefits and such)
2) In the appeals hearing do I automatically win if the employer does not show up?
Thanks for the help.

1. You mean, can you still get benefits even after your employer closes or is sold? Yes.
2. No.

The OP does automatically win unless the employer appeals and can show good cause as to why they didn't show.

Go to the appeal hearing prepared, just incase. You never know what some people will do. Some companies will fight it just because they want to or they have nothing better to do.
