Denied UI benefits due to 'inadequate transportation' - need help appealing!

Ugh, that sucks! I've been there before. Here's what you need to do: 1. Call the unemployment office ASAP. Tell them you have reliable transportation and want to appeal the decision. 2. Gather evidence of your transportation options (bus pass, car registration, etc.) 3. Write a detailed explanation of how you can get to work reliably 4. Submit a formal appeal with all this info 5. Follow up regularly until you get a response Don't give up! The system is designed to be frustrating, but you gotta fight for your rights. Good luck!

smh the unemployment office is such a joke. they'll use any excuse to deny benefits. keep fighting!

Have you tried contacting your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with the unemployment office.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at the unemployment office. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U

this happened to me last year! turns out they had outdated info on file. make sure to update your address and contact details when you appeal.

The unemployment system is BROKEN. They denied me for the same reason even tho I own a car! 🤬 Keep fighting and don't let them push you around!

Have you considered looking into public transportation options in your area? Even if you don't use them regularly, having a bus pass or something similar might help your case.

Ugh, bureaucracy at its finest 🙄 Hang in there OP, we're all in the same boat

I went through something similar a few months ago! The key thing that helped me was getting a letter from my local transit authority confirming I had access to public transportation, plus I got my mechanic to write a simple note saying my car was in working condition. Also, don't forget that rideshare services like Uber/Lyft count as transportation too - you can screenshot the apps on your phone as proof you have access. The appeal process can be slow but stick with it - most of these initial denials get overturned if you provide proper documentation. You've got this! 💪
