Summary:
According to the Commission, the claimant is not eligible for extended benefits under the Pilot Project No. 14, “Career Transition Program” since he does not meet all of the criteria set out in the Regulations. During the 260 week period before the beginning of his benefits period which commenced on February 1, 2009, the claimant had received more than 36 weeks of E.I. benefits, and therefore did not qualify. The claimant does not base his appeal on legal grounds, but claims that persons with disabilities such as his should be eligible. The Board has no authority to amend the requirements of the legislation, neither does an Umpire. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed.
