The Insurance Court dismissed the appeal against the Unemployment Security Board's decision to deny partial unemployment benefits to a municipal daycare worker. Although the worker's number of children decreased from three to one, her weekly working hours remained at 40, exceeding the 40-hour threshold required for benefit eligibility. The court upheld the original ruling, noting that the reduction in children did not justify a reduction in working hours sufficient to qualify for unemployment support.

Unemployment Security Act; Part-time Work Act: A reduction in the number of children cared for does not automatically entitle a daycare worker to unemployment benefits if their weekly working hours remain above the statutory threshold for part-time work.
