You should contact the employer or even physically go meet with the employer to discuss this situation. If they agreed to hire you back than their failure to do so is a breach of i assume an oral contract. If they will not comply you may want to consider seeking legal counsel
Look to speak with a local employment law attorney who specializes in this area. They will know exactly what route to take to either get your job back or unemployment. The employer offered the job in exchange for your dropping the appeal. You held up your end their failure to do so is a violation of the agreement and they will be liable either for damages or specific performance. If you seek counsel they will help you get what is best for you at this point
