Antedate
II. Principles of Law
(b) Who Qualifies for Antedate
In order to receive antedate, a claimant must establish that:
- he or she was qualified to receive benefits on the date for which the antedate is sought; and,
- he or she had good cause for the delay between the date the claim is actually made and the date to which the claim is to be antedated.
It is up to a claimant to ask the Commission to antedate a claim. If a claimant does not ask the Commission for antedate, the matter cannot be raised before the Board of Referees since the Board cannot decide a matter which is not raised by the claimant with the Commission.
