Summary:
The claimant filed a benefit claim on September 25, 2008. He provided two Records of Employment, which indicate that he worked for one employer from February 2, 1998 to October 4, 2006, and for another company for a few periods from November 1, 2007 to August 22, 2008. He accumulated 56 hours of employment for that employer. The Commission refused to establish a benefit period because the claimant had not accumulated the required number of hours of insurable employment during the qualifying period, from September 23, 2007 to September 20, 2008. The claimant had only accumulated 56 hours of insurable employment during the qualifying period and, in accordance with section 7(3)(b) of the Employment Insurance Act, he had to have accumulated a minimum of 840 hours of insurable employment to be entitled to benefits. The appeal is dismissed.
