The Insurance Court reversed the Unemployment Security Board's decision to deny benefits to an art student who had worked part-time as a painter. The Board argued that the student's employment history and artistic work constituted substantial activity, but the Court found the work to be incidental. Consequently, the court determined that the student remained eligible for unemployment support starting September 7, 1998.
