FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ No. 1D17-4912 _____________________________ JOSEPH M. WIPPEL, Appellant, v. REEMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE APPEALS COMMISSION, Appellee. ___________________________ On appeal from the Reemployment Commission. Frank E. Brown, Chairman. Assistance Appeals December 18, 2018 PER CURIAM. Wippel filed an appeal to the Reemployment Assistance Appeals Commission (RAAC) after he received two contradictory notifications concerning his application for reemployment assistance. RAAC dismissed the appeal as untimely, and Wippel now appeals that dismissal. RAAC concedes error, stating that it should not have dismissed the appeal if it was untimely due to overlapping agency orders. We accept this concession, and remand for a determination as to whether Wippel filed a belated appeal to RAAC due to confusion stemming from these orders. See Ellis v. Unemployment Appeals Comm’n, 73 So. 3d 887, 890 (Fla. 4th DCA 2011). REVERSED and REMANDED. OSTERHAUS, WINOKUR, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur. _____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________ Joseph M. Wippel, pro se, Appellant. Norman Blessing, General Counsel, Appellate Counsel, Reemployment Commission, Tallahassee, for Appellee. 2 and Cristina Velez, Assistance Appeals
