Colorado Unemployment Question

Help

So I know that you guys can’t really give Legal advice and that’s not what I’m asking per se. my question is is that my partner got let go from her job. It started as a suspension that ultimately led to a dismissal due to like violation of company policy due to misconduct. Several months have gone by and the company still has not done any of the paperwork nor have they let Colorado know that she was fired for misconduct. She has not made any further claims in a few months so we have not been collecting the unemployment as I am employed, and we don’t need a per se.

However, I got relocated at my work and my rent is way more expensive and she’s a full-time student now so I’m not able to really help her out as much so the question is since the appeal process for her former employer has passed by a lot if she reopened the claim, are they gonna reach back out to the employer and audit why she got terminated or is it just gonna continue? She has not had a job since she has not made any money whatsoever, not from DoorDash plasma donations or anything what so ever. Does anybody know if she would still be able to continue to collect the unemployment since the appeal window has passed for her employer or if we should just leave it alone and not attempted cause I know there’s gonna be penalties a.k.a. like having to pay him back at the end of the tax year or anything like that does anybody have experience with this particular situation?
