Key legal question
Whether the fund could reconsider the original unemployment-benefit decision under Art. 53 LPGA and Art. 41b OACI
Extracted holding
Yes. The continued extension of the benefit period became unlawful once the insured had acquired enough contribution months for a new entitlement period; this was a manifest error of significant importance.
Extracted reasoning
The original administration could not know in advance that a sufficient contribution period would later be completed. Once that fact occurred, maintaining the prolonged period contravened the applicable rule from March 2005 onward, which qualifies as a manifestly incorrect decision worth correcting.
