Matter of Higgins

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Feb 10, 1994
201 A.D.2d 810 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

February 10, 1994

Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.


Insofar as claimant failed to submit any new evidence to support his request that the Board reconsider its prior decision ruling that he was disqualified from receiving unemployment insurance benefits, we do not find that the Board abused its discretion in rejecting the application. In any event, substantial evidence supports the Board's finding that claimant's activities on behalf of a corporation of which he was the chief executive officer and sole shareholder constituted employment within the meaning of the Unemployment Insurance Law. Claimant's failure to reveal his activities in this regard support the further conclusion of willful misrepresentation.

Mikoll, J.P., White, Casey and Yesawich Jr., JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
