Summary:
The claimant requested that his October 14, 2007 benefit claim be renewed so he could receive sickness benefits effective May 25, 2008. The initial claim showed that the claimant accumulated only 590 hours of insurable employment when he needed 600 hours to be eligible to receive benefits. In this case, the benefit period began on October 14, 2007. Only the hours accumulated during the qualifying period (October 15, 2006 to October 13, 2007) can be taken into account. The hours that the claimant worked from December 9 to 15, 2007 were not worked during the qualifying period. The Commission's appeal is allowed by the Umpire.
