Summary:
Claimant applied for maternity and parental benefits with a total of 601 hours of insurable employment. She was considered as being a re-entrant and, in addition, there had been a violation noted in her file within the 260 weeks prior to filing her claim. Number of hours required were increased to 1,138 hours. She stated that she should benefit from Reg.93(1) and qualify with 600 hours only, notwithstanding SS. 153.1(3) of the Act which stipulates that the Reg. may not provide special benefits to persons who are subject to an increase in the number of hours of insurable employment required. Argument dismissed by the Umpire.
