If I disagree with the decision of a Deputy or "Notice of Deputy's Determination," how do I file an appeal?:

You may file your appeal in person at your VEC Workforce Center, or by mail to the Virginia Employment Commission, Office of First Level Appeals, P.O. Box 1358, Richmond, VA 23218-1358. The appeal may also be filed by fax to (804) 786-8492 and by the Internet at www.VaEmploy.com. Be sure to include your Social Security number. You must be sure your appeal is received in the office or postmarked no later than the final date for appeal. Any change of address must be reported to the VEC immediately. Remember, while your appeal is pending, you must continue to search for work and file your weekly claims in a timely manner. If you are determined eligible, you may be paid benefits for the period your claim was on appeal, as long as all eligibility requirements have been satisfied during each week claimed.
