Summary:
This Umpire refused to antedate the claimant's EI benefit application as he failed to show good cause for a 16-month delay. The FCA held that a delay in applying based on an expectation of finding employment or a good faith reliance on one's own resources does not constitute «good cause» under 10(4) of the EIA. Further, there was no evidence that the claimants unfortunate extenuating circumstances would have explained the entire period of delay in any event.
