In re the Claim of Goldstein
Opinion of the Court
—Appeal from a decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board, filed February 10, 1992, which, inter alia, ruled that claimant was disqualified from receiving unemployment insurance benefits because he voluntarily left his employment without good cause.
There is substantial evidence in the record to support the conclusion by the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board that claimant quit his employment as a tax accountant voluntarily and without good cause (see, Matter of Steed [Roberts], 115 AD2d 166; Matter of Artz [Levine] 50 AD2d 958). On his
Furthermore, on claimant’s application for unemployment insurance benefits he gave as the reason for his leaving, "fired, personality conflict”. This statement, and the Board’s rejection of claimant’s contention that he was forced to resign, provide the requisite substantial evidence needed to support the Board’s conclusion that claimant made a willful misrepresentation in order to obtain benefits (see, Matter of Muller [Levine], 50 AD2d 1005, lv denied 40 NY2d 806).
Weiss, P. J., Levine, Mercure, Mahoney and Casey, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
