Ex-Employer Taking Me to Court Over Unemployment

I just got papers in the mail from my state’s department of economic security; apparently my ex-employer is appealing their decision to pay me unemployment. That place was a mess to work at and they were failing when I was fired. The company owed $40 million to the FCC, put hiring freezes into effect, cut operating hours from 24hrs to 12hrs, reduced our management from 6-7 people to 2, closed our physical location & switched to work from home, etc. I was fired in August. In January there was a mass firing of 150+ people over Zoom. I believe my entire department was outsourced to India. I’m just so angry at the audacity of this company to try to get back the measly $6k I got from unemployment. I have to go to a hearing and everything for this.
