Summary:
The claimant failed to accumulate a sufficient number of insurable hours to qualify for benefits. The claimant appealed the ruling alleging that, because of illness and a car accident, she had a period of unemployment. It is noted the claimant was employed when involved in an accident, injured and in receipt of her full entitlement of sickness benefits. As I explained to her son who was representing her, the sickness benefits having been paid, this interrupted the benefit period which, for all purposes, precluded her from acquiring sufficient insurable hours of employment during that period to qualify for benefits. During that period, she had accumulated 225 hours but required 600 insurable hours. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
