Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
week of unemployment  benevolent work 

Summary:

Claimant's relations with his former employer were voluntary in nature. He received no remuneration, and his pathetic hope of keeping the business alive for some imaginary prospective buyer who could hire him was far removed from a genuinely objective expectation.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
penalties  knowingly 

Summary:

Claimant, by his statement "I see now that I was wrong in not disclosing my activity", is plainly not confessing to have "knowingly" made false statements. He is saying that he made an error in law, not that he knowingly deceived.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
penalties  work without remuneration 

Summary:

It seems that large numbers of claimants understand the question: "Did you work?" to mean with pay or other remuneration. This question should be modified to include the notion "with or without pay", or "whether as a volunteer or not", or some such.
