IN RE: the Claim of Peggy L. WETZEL (2001)

Appeal from a decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board, filed February 6, 2001, which ruled that claimant was disqualified from receiving unemployment insurance benefits because she voluntarily left her employment without good cause.

Claimant was employed as a production worker in a glass factory until she resigned to return to her home in Pennsylvania with her husband who had recently retired from employment with the same employer.   Substantial evidence supports the decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board that claimant's decision to leave her employment, while understandable, constituted personal and noncompelling reasons for purposes of eligibility for benefits (see, Matter of Dampman [Sweeney], 246 A.D.2d 940, 667 N.Y.S.2d 999;  Matter of Gawerecki [Sweeney], 243 A.D.2d 809, 662 N.Y.S.2d 856;  Matter of Conti [Hudacs], 186 A.D.2d 303, 587 N.Y.S.2d 443).   Claimant's remaining contentions have been examined and found to be without merit.

ORDERED that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
