Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in California
my wife took a new job and then after 6 months was let go. She was told due to the company not being able to afford her.(they had lost funding) the the company then disputed her unemployment claim. it has been 3 months
She went to a hearing today and no one from the company showed up . Now she was told that she might have to wate another 30 to 60 days for another hearing

What is your question?
If the company did not show they have a chance to ask for a new hearing but the first issue at the hearing will be whether they had a good reason for failing to appear at the first hearing. While I do not know what happened at the first hearing it is certainly possible that the company will not request a second hearing/ If this is the case and your wife made a decent showing she will win. Continue to submit the job search cards every two weeks and she will be entitled to a lump sum payment if she wins.
Good luck
