Samantha B. Bourne Missouri Cases

Samantha B. Bourne appealed the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission's denial of unemployment benefits, arguing that improper notice from the Division of Employment Security violated her due process rights by leading to the dismissal of her appeals as untimely. The Commission, however, had treated her appeals as timely and denied them on the merits, finding she was disqualified from benefits because she was not unemployed. The appellate court affirmed the Commission's decision, denying Bourne's points on appeal because the Commission did not find her appeals untimely and her due process argument was unpreserved.
