Summary:
Claimant was referred to a course. On 6-03-92, the claimant left the course for five weeks because of sickness. Claimant was ineligible to receive sick benefits, and the authorization to take the course was withdrawn retroactively to 6-03-92. Nevertheless, the claimant returned to the course and completed it successfully. The FCA referred the matter back to the Umpire for determination as to whether the claimant was still referred despite his absence. **NOTE: The FCA identified several ambiguities, and noted that there was a lack of consensus regarding the nature of the Commission’s decision.
