UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE - HEARING AND APPEAL - REQUEST FOR HEARING - CASE NO. 3

The Claimant then advised me of receiving a letter from the DOL dated 2/17/10 which was a determination of no qualification for the year of 2010(as the Claimant had no income since December 2008 and the 2009 notice of adverse determination had the standard language of no eligibility unless earning from a subsequent employer 8 times the benefit rate, etc.). Of course, the Claimant wanted to contact the DOL to determine eligibility under the alternative base period but it was my opinion that under the law, the Claimant would only be entitled to benefits if we succeed on the appeal.
