CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY OUTREACH WORKER WAS AN EMPLOYEE ENTITLED TO UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE BENEFITS.

The Third Department determined an outreach worker/field supervisor who, pursuant to a grant, worked for the Niagara Falls Housing Authority was an employee entitled to unemployment insurance benefits:

Prior to being hired, claimant filled out an application and was required to submit a résumé, after which he was interviewed by a panel, which included two officials from the Housing Authority, that determined to hire him … . Upon being hired, claimant was required to attend training … . The rate of pay for claimant, who was required to work 35 hours per week, was not subject to negotiation … , and claimant was required to fill out and submit weekly time sheets that would have to be approved and signed by his supervisor before receiving remuneration from the Housing Authority … . While claimant did not receive benefits, he was reimbursed for expenses related to the costs of a cell phone, gas, tolls, food and office supplies … , and the Housing Authority also provided claimant with office space to use in one of its buildings. While performing his duties as an outreach worker, claimant was required to wear a jacket or shirt, as well as a hat, identifying him as part of the SNUG [violence reduction] program … and was required to maintain a certain number of clients and to meet with those clients. Claimant was also not allowed to subcontract his work or employ a substitute to perform his work … , and his work in the community was reviewed periodically and subject to oversight by his supervisors … . Matter of Cole (Niagara Falls Hous.
