Summary:
The Commission was informed that, during the claimant’s benefit period, from January 8, 2009 to February 16, 2009 as well as from March 9 to March 30, 2009, the claimant had been out of Canada. The Commission determined that the claimant was entitled to one period of seven consecutive days during each period of her absences as she had travelled to visit members of her family who were ill. This decision resulted in an overpayment of $3,039.00. She noted that her family lives in the Unites States and that this should not disadvantage her from visiting and supporting family members who are ill. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the umpire.
