Dan,

This sounds like issues with administrative issues, that is, the ability to properly adjudicate claims for unemployment insurance benefits.

It may sound easy but harder to adjudicate in fact.

I would assume there could be issues like if a person gets severance pay which is can be fractional weeks, e.g. 3 weeks, 2 days or if the termination does not occur on the last day of a work week. E.g., a business closes it doors on a Tuesday. Then eligibility issues can be complicated.

I would assume that there could always be questions if the claimant is entitled to his/her first or last week of benefits.
