Appeals

File appeals online in your DES account if you can. Two DES pages list different appeal fax numbers, so we don’t show one here: use the number on your determination, or email the appeal to des.public.appeals@commerce.nc.gov as DES allows.

How to fax it

  1. Use the fax number on your DES letter if it has one. Otherwise pick the right number above.
  2. Send the DES form you’re returning with your supporting documents, like proof of wages.
  3. Send it from dimefax.com/send.
  4. Keep the delivered confirmation. Dimefax shows the date and time it went through.

Tips

Dimefax costs 10¢ a page and you’re only charged if the fax goes through. On the web, page credits come in packs of 50 for $4.99, 100 for $9.99 or 200 for $19.99; the Dimefax iPhone app also sells 10 for $0.99. Credits you don’t use stay in your account and last as long as you fax once a year.

Where these numbers come from

Dimefax isn’t part of, or endorsed by, the N.C. Division of Employment Security. We copied these numbers from des.nc.gov on November 11, 2026. Agencies change their numbers: if your letter, notice or form gives a different one, use that.
