Summary:
Claimant applied for maternity benefits and signed a commitment to disclose any information that could affect her benefits while she was exempt from having to complete report cards. The claimant worked, but did not disclose the fact. Penalty of $1,239 imposed. Claimant alleged that she did not sign the exemption when she claimed parental benefits. According to the Umpire, this does not matter because it is obvious that the commitment signed when she claimed maternity benefits continued to apply since the Commission did not send her any report cards.
