Summary:
The claimant applied for regular benefits effective February 15, 2009 after having been employed last from July 28, 2008 to February 13, 2009. The information indicated at her credit 907 hours of insurable employment in her qualifying period of February 17, 2008 to February 15 2009, while as a new entrant she needed 910 hours to qualify for EI benefits. The Board allowed the claimant's appeal on the basis she had submitted proof of having accumulated an additional total of 36 insurable hours of employment from June 22, 2009 to June 26, 2009. The Board erred in fact and in law in crediting 36 more hours of insurable employment accumulated following the commencement of the claimant's benefit period established effective from February 15, 2009. The appeal by the commission is allowed by the Umpire.
