Respondents.

_____________________________________________________________

 

Submitted October 11, 2006 - Decided October 24, 2006

Before Judges Coburn and Gilroy.

On appeal from the Board of Review, Department

of Labor, 90,240.

Mattie Walker, appellant pro se.

Stuart Rabner, Attorney General, attorney

for respondent Board of Review (Michael J. Hass, Assistant Attorney General, of counsel; Mr. Hass and John C. Turi, Deputy Attorney General, on the brief).

PER CURIAM

Mattie Walker appeals from a final administrative decision of the Board of Review denying her claim for unemployment compensation benefits and ordering her to refund $352, benefits she received for the week ending September 3, 2005.

After carefully considering the record and briefs, we are satisfied that the final administrative decision is supported by sufficient credible evidence on the record as a whole and that Walker's arguments are without sufficient merit to warrant discussion in a written opinion. R. 2:11-3(e)(1)(D) and (E).

We note in passing that in her brief, Walker specifically stated that "although claimant separated from her position with the company voluntarily, it was due to retirement." The Board correctly held that leaving work to retire is a personal reason, not one attributable to the work. N.J.S.A. 43:21-5(a).

Affirmed.
