If you disclose this information to the unemployment office, you will be denied benefits. The reason you will be denied is based on your availability to seek and accept immediate full time work. For example, if you are offered a job tomorrow and cannot accept this position based on the fact you are under house arrest, you are not meeting the unemployment requirements of the law. They do not care why you are not available.

If you get laid off from full time work can you still collect unemployment if you work only five hours a week?
In Illinois it doesn't matter how many hours you work, only the amount you gross during a 7 day period. You are allowed to make up to 50% of your gross weekly unemployment benefits before you start losing money from unemployment. IE...If you gross 100.00 a week from unemployment, you can gross 50.00 from a job and still get a full 100.00 from unemployment. If you make 51.00 from a job, you get 99.00...I would check out your states unemployment website for full details on your state. Hope that helps.
Can a state deny unemployment benefits to a worker fired for using illegal drugs for religious purposes?
Yes. If you're fired for cause... such as using illegal drugs... you can be denied unemployment benefits. The fact that the US Constitution says that Congress shall "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" does not mean you get a free pass to do illegal drugs (or steal, or commit murder, or whatever) by claiming it's for "religious purposes".
