Respondents determination that petitioners non-compliance with the Work Experience Program (WEP) was willful and without good cause was supported by substantial evidence. The record discloses that petitioner, a WEP participant on two prior occasions, admitted that he received the work appointment notice requesting his appearance at the Office of Employment Services on September 17, 1996 for a work assignment assessment, but failed to call or visit the office, even after he realized at or near the appointment date that he had "misplaced" the appointment notice ( see, Matter of Bonilla v. New York State Dept. of Social Servs., 219 A.D.2d 526, lv denied 87 N.Y.2d 807).
