My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: California
Hello,
I was recently denied unemployment, and I'm currently in the appeals process. I have not received a hearing date for my appeal yet. I would like to withdraw my appeal, and file a new and separate claim. I resigned from my full time job because they could no longer accommodate my school schedule as they had done so for several years. I found another job (part time) immediately after I resigned from my full time job and still applying for additional employment. Unfortunately, I just found out that I was only hired temporarily with my new employer, and they are going to let me go at the end of the month. I think that filing for unemployment after getting laid off is a more compelling case, and my odds of receiving EDD benefits would be greater. Is it possible to withdraw my appeal and open a new claim? Or, do I have to reopen my current claim once I withdraw my appeal? If possible, how long do I have to wait before I open a new claim once withdrawing my appeal?
Thank you
