Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Oct 10, 2023
Michael C. Schmidt, Appellant, vs. Ritter Horticultural Services, Inc., and Division of Employment Security, Respondents.
Michael C. Schmidt appealed the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission's decision to dismiss his appeal as untimely in unemployment benefits proceedings. Schmidt had sent a letter challenging overpayment determinations, but the Commission construed it as an untimely application for review of a prior disqualification decision. The appellate court reversed, holding that Schmidt's letter was a timely appeal of the overpayment determinations and should have been treated as such.
