Summary:
Maternity and parental benefits were paid to the claimant. The Commission came to the conclusion that the benefits should not have been paid as the claimant did not accumulate the required amount of insurable hours and assessed an overpayment of $11,300. In addition, a penalty and a notice of violation were also imposed upon the claimant. The Commission cancelled the benefit period. The claimant by her own admission only worked part-time but filed a claim with a record of employment that indicated full time employment and sufficient hours worked and earnings made to qualify for benefits. The claimant's husband also worked for the same employer and it appears that hours and earnings were shared in order to falsify the claimant's ROE. The claimant's appeal to the Umpire is dismissed and the decision form the BOR is maintained.
