Summary:
The claimant and her husband applied for parental benefits indicating she would first receive the benefits, followed by her husband who elected to serve the two-week waiting period. The Commission advised the claimant that she had to serve the two-week waiting period as she was the first parent to request parental benefits. The judge concluded that pursuant to subsection 23(5) of the Act, the claimant's husband is entitled to serve the two-week waiting period for the parental benefits shared between them.
