Correct Allocation of Vacation Pay in Employment Insurance Benefits Case
Appeal Allowed: Benefit Period Starts on Employment End Date
The Appeal Division allowed an appeal, correcting an error of law by the General Division. The claimant's benefit period started on the date his employment ended, not when payments ceased. This decision was based on the Employment Insurance Act and Regulations.
Claimant Denied Permission to Appeal EI Benefits Reconsideration
The Social Security Tribunal denied the claimant's request for permission to appeal regarding the reconsideration of his Employment Insurance benefits. The Tribunal ruled that the Commission had the authority to reconsider benefits up to 72 months if false representations were made.

The Social Security Tribunal ruled that these benefits were considered earnings, disqualifying the claimant from receiving Employment Insurance benefits.
