This would depend on the state in which you are working. See the Related Link below to look up your state. New York, for example says to be eligible you have to be totally unemployed and seeking work, ready to go to work immediately. This seems to mean a mere reduction in pay does not qualify. Every state has its own criteria.

Most states offer a partial unemployment benefit where the worker becomes "underemployed" through no fault of his own and his hours/pay is reduced. Check with your own state's employment security office for clarification.
