Summary:
The claimant accumulated 974 insurable hours during his qualifying period from March 5, 2005 to March 5, 2006, which entitled him to 19 weeks of benefits. He argued that he had other hours that should have been included in his qualifying period. The Court held that the Commission is bound by section 8(1) of the EIA which clearly states that only hours within the 52 weeks period immediately before the beginning of a benefit period can be considered.
