If you are late on filing an appeal without “good cause,”  you will not succeed in the appeal of your unemployment compensation denial.  The Appellate Court will not consider the merits of your appeal with a late filing, as per the Levy v Board of Review decision in July 2010.

On the other hand, if a teacher substitutes for another teacher’s sick leave, then the substitute teacher is eligible for unemployment benefits; the substitute teacher is not to be treated like a 10 month employee who is not eligible for unemployment.  See Crowley v Board of Review, July 2010.
