CompFox AI Summary
Claimant, a former employee of IBM and then EIT, was laid off from EIT in November 2002. She sought extended unemployment benefits under a temporary program for displaced airline-related workers (Pub L 108-11), claiming her work supplied various airlines. Her application was denied as her layoff was attributed to IBM's sale of her division and EIT's subsequent reorganization, not the qualifying events outlined in the statute (reduction in airline service due to 9/11, airport closure, or Iraq conflict). The Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board affirmed this denial. The court found substantial evidence supported the Board's decision, concluding that the claimant failed to prove her layoff was due to any of the statutory qualifying conditions, thereby affirming the denial of benefits.
