Generally, most states allow you to hold a part time job and still collect unemployment, provided you report your earnings and accept a modified benefit. You should be able to resume eligibility on your original claim.
The official unemployment rate will remain unchanged
There are too many variables in your question for a definitive answer. Your state, work history for the full time job, benefits remaining for the older part time job, qualifications for receiving benefits, etc.
The expanded definition of unemployment includes not only those actively seeking work but also individuals who are marginally attached to the labor force and those working part-time for economic reasons. To calculate it, you start with the traditional unemployment rate, then add the number of marginally attached workers (those not actively looking but available and willing to work) and the underemployed (those working part-time but desiring full-time work). The formula can be expressed as: Expanded Unemployment Rate = (Unemployed + Marginally Attached Workers + Underemployed) / Labor Force + Marginally Attached Workers. This provides a broader view of labor market challenges.
Yes. In the Related link below, page 5, "Are You Eligible for Benefits"; "Disqualifications"; 1) there are 9 reasons under which you can quit your job and still collect benefits.
Part-time employment is one factor that makes it difficult to determine the unemployment rate. Another factor is discouraged workers, which describes people who can work, but have stopped looking for a job.
No. You are eligible for unemployment if you are terminated by your employer. Unemployment benefits are to help support yourself until such time as you find new employment. If you quit your job you had better have a plan to support your self and find new employment.
You can file an unemployment claim if you only worked part-time only if you meet the job-searching requirements of your area.
it takes workers some time to move from one job to another
This would depend on the length of your work time vs the period workers comp represents, as to your injury/sickness. Unemployment generally has a base period of 5 quarters that it derives its calculations on, so it's mainly time related.
I believe any time you quit a job your not allowed unemployment, that's why it may be better to keep the job you have and look for another or work two jobs.
You can't get unemployment if you are working, even if it is part time.
Yes.Another answer:It would depend on several factors, mainly the time line involved. If your workers comp extended beyond the limits of unemployment qualifications, it might be questionable. Best advice is to check with the unemployment office for clarification.
