Virginia Employment Commission Frequently Asked Question
What if I disagree with the Deputy’s decision?:
If you disagree with the Deputy’s decision (also called a determination), you may appeal it. Your former employer also has the right to appeal if it disagrees. For additional information on the appeals process, refer to the “Appeals Process Questions and Answers.” If you decide to appeal the decision, it is very important that you continue to look for work, report your work search contacts when you file your weekly claim for benefits, and file your weekly claims on time. If you do not file your weekly claims for benefits while an appeal is pending, you may be ineligible for benefits for the unclaimed weeks.
