The Missouri Claimant Request for Appeal of Unemployment Insurance Determination is a form used by individuals who have been denied unemployment benefits by the state of Missouri. This form allows individuals to contest the decision by appealing the decision to the Missouri Division of Employment Security (DES). There are two types of Appeal Requests in Missouri: Request for Appeal of Initial Determination and Request for Appeal of Hearing Decision. The Request for Appeal of Initial Determination is used when an individual has been denied unemployment benefits by the state of Missouri after filing an initial claim for benefits. The Request for Appeal of Hearing Decision is used when an individual has been denied unemployment benefits after attending a hearing with the Missouri DES. Both forms require the claimant to provide information about their claim, the decision that was made, and any additional evidence or arguments that the claimant wishes to present in support of their appeal.
