Summary:
The claimant applied for his Winter Fishing Claim to start on June 28, 2009. When this claim expired, the claimant filed another claim effective December 20, 2009. The Commission determined that he did not have the required insurable earnings in his qualifying period. The explanation given by the claimant for not requesting that his Winter Fishing claim be established on June 14, 2009 instead of June 28, 2009 was that the person who had filed his application on his behalf had made an error in indicating the later date as the starting date. This error was not brought to his attention until his Summer Claim was denied. The problem the claimant eventually encountered required an antedate. The Board concluded that the claimant had established good cause between June 14, 2009 and January 21, 2010 in applying late for benefits within the meaning of section 10 of the EI Act (the Act). The appeal by the commission is dismissed.
