My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: Florida
I was accepted for unemployment benefits shortly after my employer dismissed me. Several months later I received a document stating that my beneifts were denied due to a hearing. I never received any notification of any hearing that I was supposed to attend. I filed an appeal and had another partial hearing after several months of waiting for rescheduling. We ran out of time so they had to have a recess until next time when they reschedule which will take a long time.
The reason I was dismissed is due to harassment after filing a workers compensation claim after being injured on the job. My former employer would then write up papers with false accusations and make me sign them under duress. My employer tried everything to make me not get unemployment. They even went as far as sending documents a day before the hearing so I would only get them a few hours beforehand.
Do you have any advice for me?
Do you know of a way for me to continue to recieve benefits while I wait? I am running short on cash.
