Summary:
The question is whether there is a requirement to make a claim for benefit during the waiting period. The Court was of the view that its decision in Kachman (A-757-85) dealing with disqualifications also covers cases of disentitlement, including non-entitlement during the waiting period. The Court said that the definition of "disentitlement" at section 6 of the EI Act covers the waiting period. (The Commission has issued guidance on this case).

Summary:
Does the claimant have to show good cause for the delay in making a claim during the waiting period. Having found that the claimant did not have to make claims for the waiting period, the Court said it was unnecessary to deal with the issue of good cause. But it said that if it had to, it would have found good cause present for the very reason expressed by the Umpire in Bennett (CUB 25520A).
