Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
antedate disentitlement period at issue earnings
Summary:

The claimant, after being told that he would not be entitled to benefits and thus assuming that he did not have to file, delayed making his claim until the allocation of his severance pay had ended. The Court found that reliance on legal advice is not good cause. A claim for EI should be made immediately and not when an individual is payable.
