NON-PROFIT PROVIDING WORK TRAINING TO PSYCHIATRIC PATIENTS IS EXEMPT FROM UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE COVERAGE.

The Third Department determined claimant was not eligible for unemployment insurance benefits and the statute which exempts rehabilitative non-profits is constitutional. Claimant was employed by a non-profit which provided work-training for psychiatric patients. Claimant worked 20 hours per week and sought unemployment benefits when the non-profit temporarily closed:

​

To file a valid original claim, a claimant must meet certain qualifications and satisfy employment requirements (see Labor Law § 527 [1]). Labor Law § 563 (2) (d) excludes certain employment from unemployment insurance coverage, including “services rendered for a non-profit organization by a person who (1) receives rehabilitative services in a facility conducted for the purpose of carrying out a program of rehabilitation for individuals whose earning capacity is impaired by age or physical or mental deficiency or injury or (2) is given remunerative work in a facility conducted for the purpose of providing such work for persons who cannot be readily absorbed in the competitive labor market because of their impaired physical or mental capacity.” The Board credited the hearing testimony establishing that, as part of his vocational rehabilitation, claimant worked for Landmark, a non-profit organization that operates workshops and rehabilitative programs open exclusively to RPC [Rochester Psychiatric Center] patients. Matter of Janakievski (Commissioner of Labor), 2017 NY Slip Op 03253, 3rd Dept 4-27-17
