Unemployment Compensation Board of Review of the Commonwealth v. Buongiovanni

Opinion by

Judge Crumlish, Jr.,

Bernard C. Buongiovanni (Claimant) appeals to this Court a decision of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review (Board) which affirmed the referee’s decision that he pay back to the Pennsylvania Unemployment Compensation Fund an overpayment as provided in Section 804(a) of the Unemployment Compensation Law, Act of December 5, 1936, P.L. (1937) 2897, as amended, 43 P.S. §874(a) (Law).

Unfortunately for Claimant, the threshold issue, i.e., whether his appeal was timely filed, must be decided against him thus closing out a consideration of his case on the merits.
