I have an additional question. Was the hearing officer the same in both instances when you appealed? Also, can you appeal higher, like to your state's secretary of labor?
Reason for unemployment is based on most recent job, not necessarily the job that pays the benefits. Confusing, I know. But, this is how I understand it - from when I had my own business and fought this every chance I could.

Since my department is a governmental entity that does not pay into an unemployment fund, the entire amount of the unemployment comes directly out of my budget, dollar for dollar, just like the employee still worked here!!!
