Payment of Employment Insurance Benefits Pending Appeal Not Recoverable (8:XV)

Benefits are not payable in accordance with a decision of the General Division SST if, within 21 days after the day on which a decision is given, the Commission makes an application for leave to appeal to the Appeal division on the ground that the General Division has erred in law, according to s 80 of the EI Regulations. If benefits are paid to the claimant and the Appeal Division allows the Commission’s appeal, the benefits cannot be recovered. In practice, however, when the Commission appeals it always alleges an error of law, and files within 21 days. This avoids the need to pay benefits while the appeal is pending.
