Opinion
June 5, 1997
Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.
Claimant continued to work a nine-hour-a-week part-time job after his full-time employment ended under nondisqualifying circumstances. He received unemployment insurance benefits which reflected a reduced benefit rate due to his continued part-time employment. Claiming that the part-time job was causing stress and interfering with his ability to find full-time employment, claimant quit his part-time job. Thereafter, the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board disqualified claimant from receiving unemployment insurance benefits because he left his part-time employment without good cause and assessed him a recoverable overpayment of $975. Under the circumstances, we conclude that the Board's finding that claimant left his employment for personal and noncompelling reasons is supported by substantial evidence (see, Matter of Pierce [Hudacs], 210 A.D.2d 727; Matter of Grandy [Phillips — Ross], 64 A.D.2d 796) and that the recoverable overpayment was properly assessed (see, Labor Law § 597).
