Summary:
In dealing with a case of insufficient hours of insurable employment to qualify for benefits, the issue is whether the Board of Referees had the jurisdiction to decide to extend the qualifying period, a matter that had not been the subject of a decision by the Commission and was not properly before the Board. The Court ruled that both the Board and the Umpire exceeded their jurisdiction in extending the qualifying period. The proper avenue for the Board would have been to refer the matter back to the Commission under section 82 of the EIR for investigation and report.
