Kennedy v. FLORIDA UNEMPLOYMENT APPEALS COMMISSION
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 5, 2010 · Benton, Padovano, Clark
46 So. 3d 1192; 2010 Fla. App. LEXIS 16962; 2010 WL 4366198 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Kennedy v. FLORIDA UNEMPLOYMENT APPEALS COMMISSION

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The Unemployment Appeals Commission erred as a matter of law when it determined that Jermaine L. Kennedy received an overpayment of unemployment compensation benefits during his period of unpaid training. Kennedy’s uncompensated training did not constitute employment so as to disqualify him from receiving unemployment benefits. See Winters v. Fla. Unemployment Appeals Comm’n, 858 So.2d 1218 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003); Smith v. *1193 Bankers Life & Cas. Co., 852 So.2d 297 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003).

REVERSED and REMANDED for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

BENTON, PADOVANO, and CLARK, JJ., concur.
