Anyone file for UIdue to turning down relocation? Company contested it. What did you state in response?
By laws in my state I’m entitled to UI if the company moves X number of miles. I didn’t accept the relocation package.
I can’t afford to hire an attorney and the company knows that it’s lopsided.

They're contesting because it's not a legitimate claim. Do your research.
@16p Not true anymore. Company is contesting. You need to appeal. Follow the advice here.
Company doesn't contest so are you trolling?
@fe
Ouch… that hurt a little.
@OP appeal it. They won’t show up. It’s not worth their time.
do you need a decade's notice?
In response, simply state you were terminated for refusing to relocate. You did not quit and were not fired for cause. Provide any documentation you have.
@OP
I am sorry to hear that.
This is sad news considering there are still people living in SR and other areas around the country that have not relocated yet and have desks labeled in the directory as sitting in Houston. I am not an attorney but it seems potentially illegal to allow some people not to move and others are forced out without UI.
Good Luck!
You are entitled to EDD UI. The company is trying to claw back money because they are greedy.
Call EDD and they’ll explain why it was contested and how to appeal. Don’t give up. You have a right to appeal.
