Technically, if you lost one of your jobs the other one makes you still employed. However, because most states do allow a reduction in pay/hours as justification for receiving benefits, it stands to reason if you lost the higher paying job and still have the lower one, you might qualify. It depends on your state and whether the pay you still receive exceeds the benefits, etc. Along those same lines, people are allowed to have part time work and collect, as long as they keep searching for full time work. Check with your state's employment security office for your circumstances.

If the two jobs were held in the same base period, whether or not in the same state, and if the conditions of eligibility was met in both cases, the unemployment benefits would be based on the proportion each had to the whole, and the agent state would work with the liable state(s), to consolidate the funds.

Yes, you may. If you had qualified, based on the higher paying job and lost that one, then according to the Related Link below, page 9 under "What if I work part time?", if you work less than 4 days and earn less than $405 for the Week, you may be entitled to partial unemployment benefits. They consider your total pay during the base period to arrive at the benefit amount, then re-adjust based on your current income.
