Summary:
The claimant disagreed with the benefit period fixed by the Commission, auguing that it should be longer due to his many years of employment. An appeal to the Board of Referees was dismissied. The BOR stated that the subsection 12(2) of the Act establishes the maximum number of weeks for which emplyment insurance benefits may be paid in a benefit period, based on the number of insurable employment hours accumulated in the qualifying period and the applicable regional rate of unemployment. Section 10(8)(a) states no further benefits are payable to the claimant in their benefit period, including for the reason that benefits have been paid for the maximum number of weeks for which benefits may be paid under section 12. The claimant's appeal before the Umpire is dismissed.
