Summary:
The claimant had been given a penalty pursuant to the Act and a notice of violation was issued. A new entrant or re-entrant will be required to accumulate additional insured weeks in order to qualify if they have a violation within 260 weeks prior to her filing for benefits. In this case the claimant would need 1365 insured hours because she did not have at least 490 hours in the 52 weeks preceding her qualifying period. The claimant requested and ante-date but that still would not give her sufficient hours to qualify for benefits. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
