Matter of Hightower

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Jan 10, 1991
169 A.D.2d 922 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

January 10, 1991

Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.


Claimant admitted that although she knew of the 30-day time limitation for requesting a hearing on the initial determination denying her unemployment insurance benefits, she failed to request such a hearing until after the expiration of that time period (see, Labor Law § 620 [a]). The only excuse proffered by claimant was that she was waiting for the outcome of her union arbitration. Under these circumstances, the conclusion that her request was untimely and that her excuse was not valid, thus continuing in effect the initial denial of benefits, was in all respects proper (see, Labor Law § 620 [a]; Matter of Gavin [Levine], 52 A.D.2d 1006).

Decision affirmed, without costs. Mahoney, P.J., Casey, Weiss, Mikoll and Yesawich, Jr., JJ., concur.
