Answer:
Idaho unemployment benefits provide temporary compensation to those workers meeting the eligibility requirements of Idaho law. The Idaho Department of Labor and each other state's unemployment office administers its own unemployment insurance program within Federal guidelines. The basic requirements for collecting unemployment are: 1) You must have been employed; 2) You must be determined to be unemployed through no fault of your own as defined under Idaho law. 3) You must file ongoing claims and respond to questions concerning your continued eligibility; and 4) You must report any earnings from work and any job offers or refusal of work during any claim period.
An appeal must be in writing or submitted on a Request for Appeals Hearing form and should include the following: 1) Specific determination that is being appealed; 2) Claimant’s Social Security number; and 3) Signature of an interested party or representative. An appeal must be postmarked, hand-delivered or faxed to any local office or to the Appeals Bureau on or before the last day to appeal. If mailed, the appeal will be considered filed by the date of postmark. If hand-delivered to a local office or the Appeals Bureau during business hours, it will be stamped with the date of personal delivery and considered filed on that date. If the appeal is faxed, it will be considered filed on the date of receipt if received during business hours. Faxed appeals received after 5:00 pm (as of the time zone of the office receiving the appeal) or faxed on a weekend or holiday will be deemed filed on the next business date.
