Thanks Chyvan. My issue is the chronology. I want to make sure before I proceed that the final decision is that I was denied. Not that it was the initial decision one person made off the cuff and someone else realized they jumped the gun, so it wasn't upheld internally, explaining why I never got a notice of determination, why my claim status never said it was denied or closed (I checked in on it regularly), and why everyone I spoke to said my claim is still being reviewed for determination.
This person's response is the first I'm hearing of it out of half a dozen responses from the DOL since the date this person is saying the determination was supposedly made. I'm not going to appeal until I'm sure their wires didn't get crossed. Once I hear back, I'll request a hearing (keeping within the time frame allotted to request one).
Also, my documents were spaced out but coincided with the questionnaires they were sending me. I didn't file a claim, then send paperwork one sheet at a time over the span of three months. I sent the main documents upfront when I first filed, then got everything else the questionnaires indicated I'd need in one go and sent it all together. If someone was premature in their response because of that gap, fine. I just want them to confirm that the currently active determination is that I quit without good cause. I'll update once I get an answer!
