Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Jan 21, 2025
Iria Hapsari H. Kline, Appellant, vs. Division of Employment Security, Respondent.
Iria Hapsari H. Kline appealed the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission's decisions upholding the Division of Employment Security's finding that she was overpaid state and federal unemployment benefits. Kline argued she was improperly deprived of representation because her attorney did not receive the requisite notice of the hearing. The appellate court reversed the Commission's decisions, finding that the record lacked sufficient competent evidence to show that the Division had notified Kline's counsel of the hearing, and remanded the case for further proceedings.
