GRINN v. OKLAHOMA EMPLOYMENT SECURITY COMMISSION
2022 OK CIV APP 40
Case Number: 119727
Decided: 11/04/2022
Mandate Issued: 11/30/2022

¶1 Matthew Grinn appeals a decision of the district court affirming a ruling of the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission Board of Review (OESC or the commission) denying him unemployment benefits on the grounds that he was discharged for “misconduct” pursuant to 40 O.S.Supp.2014, § 2-406. On review, we find that the decision of the commission that Grinn committed statutory misconduct did not correctly interpret and apply the statute. We therefore reverse the denial of benefits and remand with instructions to reinstate Grinn’s unemployment benefits.
