What is the procedure for filing an appeal for denied unemployment insurance

An appeal I made to Unemployment was denied me, though they admitted there was no fraud and my mistake was in "good faith". I still claim I thought Unemployment Insurance was there to help people when they cannot work, not when they are looking for work. Now they want the money back and I do not have it being unemployed after 6 months of illness. What can I do?

The appellate record needs to be examined because what is in the record already sets the stage for what can be done next. The answer to your question may take several hours of legal research.

And to decide what the next step will be needs to be really fast because the appeal deadline clock is running.
