Wages and unemployment benefits go hand-in-hand. The more money an employee earned, the more in unemployment benefits they can receive. Sometimes, this is where workers who get a 1099 or those collecting tips get stuck.
That aside, here is the tip:
Unemployment Tip # 009 – Applicants should always be watching their mailbox for opportunities to appeal a wage determination, which does not necessarily appear online under an applicant’s benefit account”
In other words, after a worker or employee applies for benefits, likely they will receive a statement in the mail. Usually, the statement will show a breakdown of wages over the last four to five quarters.
If DEED’s statement is wrong, Applicants might need to consider the pros and cons of filing an appeal.
