I applied for unemployment and just got my first decision from the TWC (“Initial Determination on Payment of Unemployment Benefits”). If you need help faxing an appeal, your local Workforce Solutions office can help. Make sure that the TWC has your correct phone number and address at all times. Keep in mind: While you’re appealing a denial, you should continue to request benefits from the TWC (if you’re still unemployed) so that if you win your case on appeal you can get benefits for those weeks. For TWC information and online appeals, go here.
See this TRLA guide on unemployment benefits and how to prepare for a hearing. Your next steps depend on where you are in the process.
