In re the Claim of Ogaard
Opinion of the Court
Appeal from a decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board, filed February 11, 2009, which ruled that claimant was disqualified from receiving unemployment insurance benefits because she voluntarily left her employment without good cause.
Claimant was employed as a case manager for the employer for 12 years. After her husband was unable to secure employment in New York, claimant resigned her position and the couple moved to Nevada where his employment prospects were better. The Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board, reversing the decision of the Administrative Law Judge, upheld the initial determination and denied claimant’s application for benefits on the ground that she voluntarily left her employment without good cause. Claimant now appeals.
We affirm. Whether a claimant has left employment for good cause is an issue of fact to be resolved by the Board, and its decision will not be disturbed if supported by substantial evidence,
Cardona, P.J., Peters, Rose, Malone Jr. and Stein, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
