What happens at an appeal hearing.:

You and your former employer, if appropriate, will have the opportunity to participate in the hearing, give testimony under oath, and present witnesses and documents to support your case. You may be represented by an attorney or someone else authorized to act on your behalf. Any such arrangements for representation are your responsibility. You and your representative have the right to question any witness testifying against you and to examine any documents used against you. The Appeals Examiner will issue a written decision to all affected parties. If you fail to attend a hearing or miss a filing deadline because you failed to notify the VEC of an address change, the hearing will not be rescheduled, nor will the filing deadline be extended. Notice to the U.S. Postal Service of an address change does not constitute notice to the Commission.
