Claimant Not Entitled to Benefits For Time Spent Working Out of House 

After claimant was laid off, he operated a business [Hatch Ventures] periodically out of his home.  The Third Department determined the claimant was not eligible for unemployment insurance benefits for the days he operated his business but that “recoverable overpayment and forfeiture penalty” should not be imposed because claimant did not make a willful misrepresentation with respect to his home business:

A claimant is not entitled to receive unemployment insurance benefits during the time that he or she  is not  totally unemployed (see Labor Law § 591 [1]).It has  been  held that a claimant who undertakes activities on behalf of an ongoing business is not considered to be totally unemployed even if those activities are minimal  or the business is not  profitable ….   The issue of total unemployment is a factual question for the Board, and  its determination will be  upheld  if supported by  substantial evidence….   Here, claimant admittedly performed various activities on behalf of Hatch Ventures, made business-related expenditures and received income from product sales. Notably, he  indicated that, from  June 1, 2011  until June  30, 2011, he  performed  such  activities three days  a  week  for one  hour  each  day  and  that, after July 1, 2011, he performed them one day per week for three hours.  Matter of Lewis [Copmmissioner of Labor], 515345, 3rd Dept, 5-16-13
