APD 250132
The Appeals Panel reversed the Administrative Law Judge’s (ALJ) determinations that the claimant was entitled to Supplemental Income Benefits (SIBs) for the eighth and ninth quarters. The reversal was based on potential legal error in the ALJ’s finding that job contacts alone demonstrated an active effort to obtain employment, without evaluating whether those contacts met the standard for active work search efforts. The case was remanded for the ALJ to reconsider the SIBs entitlement using the correct legal standard under Section 408.1415 and Rule 130.102(d)(1).
