IFacts事实
In November 2021 the Department of Labor issued several determinations against a home care worker who had received unemployment insurance benefits in 2020. The Department found that the worker was not totally unemployed on certain days in April 2020, had left one position without good cause, and had wilfully misrepresented earnings. It imposed a forfeiture of future benefit days and charged a recoverable overpayment.2021年11月，纽约州劳工厅对一名于2020年领取失业保险金的居家护理员作出数项决定，认定其在2020年4月某些日子并非完全失业、无正当理由离开一份工作，并故意虚报收入，因此罚没其未来若干天的领取资格，并要求退还多领的款项。
IIQuestions Presented争议问题
Does an accidental under-reporting of part-time earnings amount to a wilful false statement that supports a forfeiture penalty? And what evidence must the Department offer to prove wilfulness?无意中少报兼职收入，是否构成可据以罚没领取资格的故意虚假陈述？劳工厅须提出何种证据证明“故意”？
