Summary:

The claimant had worked for a total of 525 hours. The Commission determined she would require 595 hours and refused her benefits. The claimant appealed on the grounds she reviewed the legislation that allowed for an extension to one’s qualifying period, which included the condition “confined in a jail, penitentiary or other similar institution.” After the twins were born in September 2008, she returned to work in April 2009 and was layoff. The claimant stated in her appeal that it was a poor distinction that someone confined to jail could have their qualifying period extended but a mother with 3 month old twins thereby confined to her home could not receive the same consideration. Appeal is dismissed by the Umpire.
