I recently faced a frustrating situation after being laid off from my remote job. I moved to Colorado in 2025 and signed new contracts to ensure I was payrolled in Colorado while working remotely. However, when I filed for unemployment last month, I discovered that the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) had no record of my wages. This has left me feeling lost and unsure of what to do next. I've been in contact with other laid-off coworkers from different states who haven’t encountered this issue, which adds to my confusion. My previous employer is also baffled and is currently investigating the matter with their payroll service. To resolve this, I’ve taken several steps: I faxed in my 2025 W2, but my first attempt failed, which put me over the correction time limit and forced me to appeal the determination. I’ve submitted my appeal to the CDLE, attaching my W2, and I confirmed that my wages were reported at the federal level through my Social Security profile. I also tried to check my Colorado taxes, but I can’t access the Department of Revenue website because it seems I’m not registered in their system. I’ve attempted to retrieve my credentials but have had no luck. I’ve scheduled a call with the Colorado Department of Revenue for next week to ask questions. I’m really feeling lost in this process! Has anyone else experienced issues at the state level while being fine federally? Should I keep pursuing my previous employer for answers, or is it time to consider legal action?
