Summary:
The claimant received sickness benefits from March 20, 2005 to June 4, 2005 and then regular benefits up to February 18, 2006. The Commission learned that in 2005 the claimant received income from the operation of a business. The claimant stated that she had a business that opened on April 30, 2005 to which she participated in the daily operation for four hours each day and on weekends. The Commission concluded that the claimant did not show that, were it not for her illness, she would have been available for work because she operated as co-owner. The Commission also found that the claimant did not prove that she was available for work. Moreover, the Commission concluded that the claimant knowingly made false or misleading statements when she failed to report the operation of her business. Since a monetary penalty cannot be imposed more than 36 months from the date of an act or omission, a warning letter and a notice of violation were issued. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
