You can go to school while on unemployment, so long as you are eligible otherwise (like you lost your job due to no fault of your own). However, you are supposed to be able and available to accept a job, so if you are offered work but it interferes with your school hours, you will no longer be eligible for unemployment for refusing work.

∙ 15y agoIn NY, no; I know this for a fact since I did that and I was denied unemployment benefits. I even went to Court to try and get them, to no avail. The law in NY states that to quit or reduce your work hours in order to attend College is without "good cause", and your claim will be denied. HOWEVER, if you are currently unemployed with a vaild claim active, you can apply for what are known as "Section 599" benefits. these, in certain circumstances, will allow you to attend school while receiving benefits. The benefit term is also extended if you are approved. Google it.

∙ 14y agoI just called TWC and you can collect benefits. However, it must not interfere with your job search or obtaining full time work. For example, I'm taking classes on line and this wouldn't interfere with my job search or me finding full time work. After I've found full time work I can still attend school.

Can you collect unemployment if you quit your job to go back to school in Missouri?
This is very doubtful. To collect unemployment you must, usually, be unemployed due to no fault of your own. While going back to school is an admirable idea, it is still attributable to you that you are unemployed. Beyond that, unemployment always requires that you be ready, willing, and able to work, and going to school - especially full-time - typically prevents you from meeting this qualification.

You cannot collect unemployment while you collect wages, so if you are paid while on maternity leave, you probably cannot collect unemployment. You should contact the nearest office of the Colorado Department of Labor to know for certain. You can probably google "Colorado Department of Labor" and send them an email to ask. If you can collect unemployment you'll have to contact that office anyway, to get the paperwork.
