Summary:
Claimant required 1,138 hours of insurable employment because of a violation while he had accumulated only 1,031 hours. Claimant argued that the violation should not be taken into account since it resulted from not declaring earnings during the period from Sept. 22 to Oct. 5, 1996 and that this was more than 260 weeks prior to his claim filed on Nov. 13, 2001. Since the violation was issued on Oct. 17, 1997, umpire held that the 260 weeks started running from that date and was therefore still affecting the number of hours required to establish a claim when the claimant filed his claim on Nov. 13, 2001.
