Unemployment Benefits

Checking on the status of an appeal for unemployment can be meaningless. Not much is shown from the website. But if you want to check on the status of an appeal- follow these steps given by Agency of Workforce Innovation.

"If you filed your appeal on the website, the case status will be available on the website the next day at www.fluidnow.com/appeals. After reading the available options on the first page, click Continue, then select Check Status of a Case and follow the prompts. If you filed your appeal by mail or by fax, the case status will usually be available on line about one week later."

If you appealed, you will have a hearing if it was a timely appeal. After your telephonic hearing, you will typically get a written decision in about one week or less. The hearing referee will not tell you after the hearing about the decision and cannot discuss the case/appeal anymore.
