vs.

Reemployment Assistance Appeals Commission, Appellee.

An Appeal from the State of Florida, Reemployment Assistance Appeals Commission.

Katherine Mirella Area Alvarez, in proper person.

Amanda L. Neff, Deputy General Counsel (Tallahassee), for appellee.

Before LINDSEY, GORDO, and BOKOR, JJ.

PER CURIAM. Affirmed. See Caldera v. Fla. Unemployment Appeals Com’n, 758 So.

2d 736, 736 (Fla. 3d DCA 2000) (“Because the 20-day appeal period is

jurisdictional, the Unemployment Appeals Commission properly dismissed

the appeal as untimely.”); see also § 443.151(4)(b)(3), Fla. Stat. (2023) (“If

an appeal appears to have been filed after the permissible time limit, the

Office of Appeals may issue an order to show cause to the appellant which

requires the appellant to show why the appeal should not be dismissed as

untimely. If, within 15 days after the mailing date of the order to show cause,

the appellant does not provide written evidence of timely filing or good cause

for failure to appeal timely, the appeal shall be dismissed.”).
