Summary:
The claimant worked for three different employers during the qualifying period which is between March 30, 2008 and March 28, 2009 accumulating a total of 466 hours on insurable employment. As a new entrant to the labour force, the claimant needed 910 hours of insurable employment. The claimant applied for maternity/parental benefits, but pursuant to Regulation 93, the minimum number of hours to qualify for these benefits is 600 and since she accumulated 466 insurable hours, she does not qualify for those benefits either. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed.
