basic concepts  qualifying period  extension  illness 

Summary:

Claimant had 15 weeks of insurable employment to qualify while 26 weeks were needed. Requested an extension of his qualifying period alleging that he was on "economic quarantine" when being unable to obtain or retain employment because of the vindictive actions of his former employer and that should be associated to the term "quarantine" found in the legislation. Contention rejected by Umpire who concluded that the word "quarantine" found in the Act is being used as an cognate to illness or injury. The FCA summarily dismissed the claimant's request for review.
