Opinion
December 13, 1990
Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.
Claimant testified that he refused an offer of temporary employment because he was still waiting to hear from some firms with which he had interviewed for a permanent position. However, refusing an offer of employment because it is only temporary does not constitute good cause (see, Matter of Murphy [Ross], 82 A.D.2d 970; Matter of McCarthy [Continental Tel. Co. — Ross], 82 A.D.2d 1014, 1015). Under the circumstances, the determination finding claimant ineligible for unemployment insurance benefits must be upheld as it is supported by substantial evidence (see, Matter of Gray [Roberts], 130 A.D.2d 904, 905; Matter of Murphy [Ross], supra).
Decision affirmed, without costs. Mahoney, P.J., Weiss, Mikoll, Yesawich, Jr., and Levine, JJ., concur.
