Unemployment Appeal Decision Validity

Summary

In Arizona, a decision on a dismissed unemployment appeal may not be valid if procedural errors occurred, such as not addressing good cause. This could potentially violate procedural due process, which requires proper notice and a fair opportunity to be heard. If you believe there was a procedural error, consider seeking legal advice to explore options for further appeal or review.

Unemployment Appeal
Hi Mia! To assist you better, could you let me know why your unemployment benefits were denied?
Can I just ask a question I want answered?
Of course, Mia! What specific question do you have regarding your unemployment appeal?
Thank you! Is a decision issued on a case that was dismissed on Appeal valid? The Hearing Judge was supposed to decide if I showed Good Cause to reopen my case on Appeal, if so, a new hearing to decide my appeal would be scheduled. instead, she issued her decision denying my eligibility for unemployment FIRST, again on a dismissed case, and found that decision rendered her decision that I did show good cause AND my Appeal, Moot. so that was it - no appeal for me.
Case Rating: *
In Arizona, when an appeal is dismissed, any decision issued on that case may not be valid. The primary focus should be on whether the judge properly addressed the good cause to reopen the case before making any other determinations.
Would you like to provide more details about the reasons your initial unemployment benefits were denied?
She did not address that issue before denying my eligibility. i would like to but you answered the question I really wanted to know. thank you What a great legal resource!

You're welcome, Mia! It seems like there might have been a procedural error in addressing your good cause before denying your eligibility. If you have any further questions or need more assistance, feel free to ask!
would that amount to denial of procedural due process?
Case Rating: *
It sounds like the judge did not follow the correct procedure, which could potentially amount to a denial of procedural due process. Procedural due process requires proper notice and a fair opportunity to be heard. If the judge did not address the good cause issue properly, you might have grounds for further appeal.
Would you like to provide more details about the reasons your initial unemployment benefits were denied?

Case Rating: *
It appears that Mia may have experienced a procedural error in her unemployment appeal process. This can be significant, but without more details on the reasons for the initial denial, it's difficult to rate the case higher. If she believes there was a procedural due process violation, she might consider seeking legal advice to explore her options for further appeal or review.
