v. Case No. 5D17-2253

REEMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE APPEALS COMMISSION,

Appellee.

________________________________/

Opinion filed May 11, 2018

Administrative Appeal from the Reemployment Assistance Appeals Commission.

Rita Glasco, Orlando, pro se.

Cristina A. Velez, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Rita Glasco (Appellant) appeals the referee’s decision disqualifying her from

receiving reemployment assistance benefits. We affirm the decision under review but

remand for correction of a scrivener’s error. The referee’s decision currently disqualifies

Appellant for the week beginning May 1, 2016, the following five weeks, and until

Appellant earns seventeen times the weekly benefit amount ($4675). This is incorrect as

Appellant was not discharged until January 5, 2017. The proper disqualification timeframe is the week beginning January 1, 2017, the following five weeks, and until

Appellant has earned $4675. See § 443.101(1)(a)2., Fla. Stat. (2017). We therefore

remand for the Commission to make this correction.

AFFIRMED; REMANDED for correction of a scrivener’s error.
