In the Matter of the Claim of LORETTA M. ZIMMERMAN, Appellant. COMMISSIONER OF LABOR, Respondent.

Claimant worked for a temporary employment service and, among other jobs, was assigned to work as a receptionist for one of the employer's clients. Claimant refused an offer extending the temporary receptionist assignment because she wanted to pursue full-time employment with health benefits or, in the alternative, finalize her arrangements to participate in an educational retraining course for which she had not yet been accepted. Under these circumstances, we conclude that substantial evidence supports the decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board finding that claimant was disqualified from receiving benefits because she refused an offer of suitable employment without good cause ( see, e.g., Matter of Cancellieri [Sweeney], 231 A.D.2d 769; Matter of Tucker [Hudacs], 209 A.D.2d 810; Matter of Wachtel [Hartnett], 168 A.D.2d 773), resulting in the denial of her application for approval of vocational training pursuant to Labor Law § 599 Lab..
