Unemployment Insurance Appeal
- posted in the Legal Forum
A member writes: "I’ve never had to appeal a decision before. Does anyone know if, in California, one appeals the decision it will be reviewed and possibly overturned before being sent to the office of appeals, at which point an appearance date is set? We would like to state our case for review but don’t know if we actually want to take the time to appear—it would require having four people attend, some as witnesses."
