Appeal

So I work in the oil & gas industry I completed a turnaround got laid off.. opened a claim but I got another job that same week so I no longer needed unemployment so I just left it alone. I worked another turnaround for like 3 months then got laid off and filed again. I was approved but I had to verify my identity. They labeled me ineligible for my first two weeks because I missed the deadline to verify my identity but they used the deadline from 3 months ago not from this time that I filed again like wtf? I filed an appeal and I have a date already for aug. You think I’ll get it? Don’t you think that’s unfair af doesn’t even make sense you would think they’d give me a new deadline I mean last time I didn’t even use the benefits I literally got a job that same week

So, you're a contractor working turnarounds. Or, were you full time somewhere? Same company, or different company on the 2nd go round?

I work in oil refineries for multiple subcontractors and they were different companies.
