Appeal from a decision of the Unemployment Insurance Ap- . peal Board, filed February 14, 2006, which, inter alia, ruled that claimant was disqualified from receiving unemployment insurance benefits because she refused an offer of suitable employment without good cause.
Claimant worked as a project management assistant until she was laid off on December 27, 2004. Thereafter, she received unemployment insurance benefits. Starting in mid-February 2005, the employer repeatedly called claimant and left messages offering her the opportunity to return to work. Claimant, however, never spoke with the employer and did not return to her job. As a result, the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board ruled that she was disqualified from receiving benefits because she refused an offer of suitable employment without good cause. In addition, the Board charged her with a recoverable overpayment of benefits pursuant to Labor Law § 597 (4) and reduced her right to receive future benefits by eight effective days. Claimant appeals.
We affirm. “A claimant who refuses to accept a job for which he or she is reasonably suited by training and experience will be disqualified from receiving unemployment insurance benefits”
Cardona, P.J., Crew III, Peters, Spain and Carpinello, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
