Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Feb 7, 2023
Mary Ann Dewes vs. Division of Employment Security
Mary Ann Dewes appealed an order from the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission that dismissed her application for review as untimely, concerning an overpayment of unemployment compensation benefits. The Commission's dismissal order incorrectly referenced an Appeals Tribunal decision date and disregarded a subsequent Appeals Tribunal decision it deemed a nullity. The appellate court reversed the Commission's dismissal order and remanded the case, instructing the Commission to correctly identify and address the timeliness of Dewes's application for review of the May 28, 2021 Appeals Tribunal Corrected Decision.
