Gill Unemployment Compensation Case

Argued November 16, 1949. Claimant was employed for some eight years as the manager of a Pittsburgh beauty shop. Having suffered for some time from a sinus condition, she resigned her position and, on the advice of her physician, moved to California. There she registered for work and filed a claim for unemployment benefits against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Inter-State Benefit Section of the Bureau denied her claim by a decision of February 16, 1949. The Notice of Decision (UC 44) was that day mailed to claimant. On its face was stated: "Last day to file appeal February 26, 1949."
