QUESTION

Do i have a case?

Asked on Dec 16th, 2020 on Labor and Employment - Texas
More details to this question:
I was denied unemploymemt benefits, disaster benefits even though i was out of work because i had contracted covid-19 and was placed on quarantine. My employer told me not to come back to work until i had a clean bill of health. So i was out of work for weeks. I fell behind on my credit cards and on utilities. Because they were all due at the same time. I have called the texas workforce commission multiple times and they continue to give me the run around. They have even hung up on me. Do you think i have a case?

If you were denied benefits, you should appeal the decision within the time frame provided by TWC. You have to go through each level of the appeals process if you keep getting denied. Once you reach the last level, you could file suit against the agency for denying your benefits. However, if they have a valid reason for denying your benefits, you may not be able to move forward with a lawsuit.
