In re the Claim of Brill
Opinion of the Court
—Appeal from a decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board, filed August 19, 1997, which, inter alia, reduced claimant’s right to receive future unemployment insurance benefits because she made willful false statements.
Claimant was discharged from her employment as a secretary after she gave co-workers’ telephone numbers to an acquaintance who was selling educational tapes. Although the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board found that claimant’s conduct did not constitute disqualifying misconduct, it nevertheless ruled that claimant made a willful false statement to obtain benefits and reduced her right to receive future benefits.
Mikoll, J. P., Mercure, White, Spain and Graffeo, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
