Summary:
The claimant was involved in an accident and unable to work between November 5, 2008 and October 15, 2009. In October 22, 2009 the claimant filed for special benefits and requested to back date the application to November 5, 2008. The commission ruled she did not have good cause to delay as required by law. The delay was caused by her filing of a claim with a private insurer. The Commission reviewed the request and allowed her qualifying period extended by an additional 50 weeks. This allowed her to establish 643 insurable hours but she needed 788 insurable hours. The claimant has accumulated a minor violation in the 260 weeks preceding the filing of her claim, thus increasing the number of required insured hours to qualify. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
