Unemployment appeals move fast, and missing a deadline can end your claim. A simple log keeps every notice, upload, and call in one place so you can prove what you did and when. Use this free PDF tool to stay organized.

When to use this

  • You received a denial or overpayment notice and must appeal.
  • You uploaded documents to the portal and want proof of dates.
  • You need to show an advocate or hearing officer your timeline at a glance.

How to do it (fast)

  1. Enter your claimant information, claim number, and the agency handling your case.
  2. Add each notice date with the appeal deadline listed on the letter or portal.
  3. Log actions you take: filing the appeal, uploading documents, attending calls or hearings.
  4. Note the contact person/office and mark whether the item is still pending or decided.
  5. Download the PDF and bring it to hearings or share it with a legal aid advocate.

Why this helps

  • Prevents missed deadlines that could close your claim.
  • Shows what you submitted and when if the portal timestamps are unclear.
  • Provides a concise overview for supervisors, advocates, or appeal boards.
