Each state has its own method for calculating unemployment benefits. In general, they compare your weekly earnings (which must be reported in all cases) to the actual benefits received and adjust your payment, if any is due after deducting the earnings. In most cases, any credits left over are available in the remainder of the benefits year.
Basically, you add $20 to the weekly benefit amount, subtract 80% of your gross weekly part time earnings and the remainder is your reduced benefit amount. For details plus an example of this, refer to pages 12-13 in the Related Link below.
You can earn up to 40% of your unemployment benefit without it affecting your compensation. For example, if your benefit was $200 per week you could earn 200 times 40%, or $80, and still receive your $200 benefit. See the Related Link below for details.
In Minnesota, if your normal working hours are reduced to below 32 hours, you may be eligible for partial unemployment, according to the Related Link below.
They do, but inflation will result, the monetarist view of the natural rate is that it is the non accelerating inflation rate of unemployment (NAIRU) to move below this will result in high inflation and is therefore not worth the benefit of the reduced unemployment.
NO you can not lose your pay. If you are back to work light duty and need to see the work comp doctor or therapy then you receive your pay and work comp * If you are out of work due to an injury you WILL NOT RECEIVE YOUR REGULAR PAYCHECK from your employer. In a nut shell; you go to work, your employer pays you. If you cannot go to work due to a workmens comp claim you will have to file for comp from the State or the insurer. In the State of Nevada you only receive about 45 cents on the dollar compaired to what you would receive had you worked for your employer. * WCI benefits are paid to a worker when the person cannot perform the duties attributed to his or her job. The employee CANNOT receive regular pay and WCI benefits at the same time.
YES. But only if your earnings are below your weekly benefit amount. That's about $460, if you are eligible for the maximum. So if you make, say, $10 an hour and are reduced to 30 hours per week, you can collect a benefit amount of $460 (your benefit amount) - $300 (your earnings) = $160. It's often not very much, but good to apply for unemployment as soon as possible. You may be on the way to being laid off if your hours are reduced. Then you would have a waiting week and another week after that before you get first check. If you apply now, those weeks will pass easier than waiting until you get laid off.
Yes, it is possible. When your income is reduced from what your hiring was agreed to, you can be eligible for partial unemployment benefits. What needs to be determined by the state is whether the reason for the demotion disqualifies you.
Although I do not know the exact answer to this most states use a formula to decide which includes your pay per hour. The best thing to do is apply and see at the unemployment office.
The states have programs other than unemployment for dealing with your housing issue. As far as hours being cut, most states allow unemployment when your hours are reduced, but they need more details to approve your benefits. Check with your unemployment office.
You are not unemployed, just underemployed, so it is likely that you will not qualify. Your employer would have to sign off on the application.
I'm pretty sure that the "stimulus plan" does not allow that, any more than your state unemployment compensation plan does. Where I live (Ohio) the only change in unemployment compensation has been an extension in benefit periods, and even that has expired.Another answer:As many state unemployment laws DO provide benefits for reduced hours, it stands to reason that any extensions would follow suit.
reduce or get rid of unemployment benefits so as to discourage employees from dropping out of work.
