A New York appellate court affirmed a decision by the state’s Workers’ Compensation Board that found in relevant part that claimant violated N.Y. Workers’ Comp. Law § 114-a and disqualified him from future indemnity benefits where the employer presented evidence that claimant did not disclose his work activities with a landscaping business during the relevant time periods. During a hearing, claimant denied working for the landscaper, indicating that he had received payment from it on behalf of an undocumented friend who did not have a social security number. The court noted, however, that the landscaping company, responding to a subpoena, submitted a contract signed by claimant regarding the rate of pay claimant was to receive for landscaping services. Substantial evidence supported the Board’s findings.
