Workers have the right to challenge unemployment benefit decisions in court when they believe the agency has made an error. If you're denied unemployment benefits or asked to repay benefits you've received, you typically have appeal rights and may be able to take your case to court. It's important to understand your state's unemployment laws and deadlines for filing appeals if you disagree with an agency's decision about your benefits.
