Summary:
Claimant had accumulated only 548 of the 560 hours of insurable employment required. She alleged before the BOR that she had been unable to accumulate the required hours for reasons beyond her control, namely the ice storm. The BOR, receptive to this argument, decided to attribute an additional 36 hours to her. Error of law, according to the Umpire. The BOR does not have the jurisdiction to amend the Act or to interpret its requirements.
