In May 2009 I left my previous position because I had continually had complications with my pregnancy (my job required that I stand more than not). 2 days later I had my child by emergency c section and she was hospitalized for 2 weeks. Due to the economy I was forced to try and apply for unemployment benefits. I was awarded them, and now received notice that my ex employer has requested a hearing. In the paperwork they sent me, there is a sheet filled out by the state that shows they attempted to contact the company numerous times for a chance at rebuttal and they never called back, so the deputy was "persuaded" to award full benefits. Is this sheet in my favor or will it not help my case at all? Do I have any chance at winning this appeal?

No one can predict the percentage chances of an appeal outcome. Follow the process through to the end. Good luck. Unemployment insurance is a program that may provide you with money if you lose your job through no fault of your own. If you quit your job without meeting these requirements, you may be denied benefits because you will be considered to have voluntarily quit your job.Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details.
