My employer is somehow appealing my unemployment even though they were late in filing and there are a myriad of issues surrounding that
Hey ****! It sounds like a tricky situation. In Texas, employers must respond to unemployment claims within a specific timeframe. If they miss this, their appeal might be invalid unless they have a valid reason. Have you received any communication from the Texas Workforce Commission regarding this appeal?
I am in Montana not Texas.
Got it, ****! In Montana, employers generally have a specific timeframe to respond to unemployment claims as well. If they miss the deadline, their appeal might not be valid. Have you received any communication from the Montana Department of Labor and Industry regarding the appeal?
I got the packet, it looks like they just said there was some misunderstanding about the date and they let them file it

In no particular order:
The appeal was filed under the name of a woman who has been dead for at least a year and a half.
The employer is claiming I was fired for reasons different than the one I was given.
There seems to be a conflation with an old unemployment claim I did not draw on in * because I was fired by mistake as they intended to fire someone else. I went back to work a couple days after when it was all settled.
There is more

Things they are now claiming they fired me for are either positive (me taking on the responsibility of the swamper when we did not have an employee for the position while still doing my normal job) or were excused by my supervisor, specifically occasionally taking * minutes or so to go back to my place and grab something a block away-- there was no point where I did that without getting permission.
At least one of the memo warnings they intend to use as evidence was counteracted when they discovered the infraction wasn't done by me. -- also at the time of my termination the bookkeeper specifically told me to my face that I should file for unemployment and they wouldn't fight it
