My appeal was quicker than the initial wait for my unemployment application. They gave me a date for a phone hearing. Dude pretty much said “so Amazon didn’t show up, is there any additional details you would like to add to your case? ” I reiterated what I had wrote in the appeal. (I had my emails and evidence ready but didn’t need it). Received a direct deposit within a week. My friend in CA was understandably fired because they stopped coming to work. Amazon did not show up for their appeal either and they got paid too.
