Key legal question
Whether the claimant's right to unemployment benefits for May 2007 to April 2008 was time-barred for late filing of IPA forms
Extracted holding
The right was not entirely lost; the delay could not bar benefits from August 2007 onward because the claimant had not been properly informed.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 20(3) LACI sets a peremptory three-month period, but a breach of the duty to inform under Art. 27(2) LPGA can protect the insured under good faith if the omission caused the late filing. The claimant had been warned initially, yet the ORP later gave ambiguous information that could be understood as allowing later submission.
