Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Apr 28, 2020
Meana Ward vs. Division of Employment Security
Meana Ward appealed the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission's decisions regarding her unemployment benefits. The Commission had dismissed two of her appeals as untimely and affirmed an overpayment assessment. The appellate court affirmed the Commission's dismissal of the untimely appeals, holding that the Commission lacked statutory authority to review them. The court dismissed Ward's appeal of the overpayment assessment, finding that she had abandoned the claim of error due to briefing deficiencies.
