Summary:
The claimant filed an initial EI benefit claim that took effect on April 4, 2010. She worked at the Auberge from November 18, 2008 to August 10, 2009. Her employment ended because the company closed. The claimant requested the Commission to antedate her claim to August 9, 2009 as she thought that she needed to have worked for a full year at the same company. The Commission determined that the claimant failed to prove that she had good cause for her delay in filing her claim and denied her request. In fact, the claimant did not file her claim until 34 weeks after the end of her employment. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
