What happens if I am denied unemployment benefits?

If you are denied unemployment benefits in Montana, you have the option to appeal the decision within 10 calendar days of the mailing date of the decision. To appeal, you need to submit a written request stating the reasons why you disagree with the decision. The appeal process involves a hearing where you can present your case and provide evidence supporting your claim. It is important to gather and submit any relevant documentation, such as employment records or witness testimonies, to strengthen your appeal. The hearing will be conducted by an administrative law judge who will review the case and make a decision based on the evidence presented. If you still disagree with the outcome, further appeals can be made to the Montana Unemployment Insurance Commission and the District Court.
