Provident, Inc., and Division of Employment Security Missouri Cases

Lisa K. McKeever appealed the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission's dismissal of her claim for unemployment benefits as untimely. The Appeals Tribunal had previously disqualified McKeever from benefits, and she filed her application for review with the Commission beyond the thirty-day statutory limit. The Court of Appeals affirmed the Commission's decision, holding that the Commission properly dismissed the untimely application due to lack of statutory authority. The Court also clarified that it retained jurisdiction to review the Commission's decision, despite the untimeliness of the administrative appeal, because McKeever's notice of appeal to the appellate court was timely.
