Can you receive unemployment benefits if you leave a full time job and still work a part time job?

Answer 1

Generally, yes, depending on the state. They would subtract your part time income from your weekly benefits and you'd receive the difference. If your PT income was greater than your benefit, you'd receive nothing.

Answer 2

yes you can collect unemployment benefits until your hours are reinstated

Another answer:

It depends on many things, but mainly how substantial was the cut back and whether the resultant earnings are more than the unemployment benefits.

You need to check with your own state's unemployment office for clarification, as each state has their own protocols.

Answer 3

You should be able to draw your unemployment from when you were working full time. Your employer paid it in, therefore you should be able to draw it up to the amount paid in while you were full time. After that, you're up a creek without a paddle.

Answer 4

This depends entirely on the state you work in. Most states allow part time earnings while you are looking for full time employment, but you must be reporting the earnings each week or you'd be in non-compliance with their regulations.

Answer 5

A friend of mine just went through this exact same situation. Before answering I went to the website for unemployment in your area to double check what I knew. You can apply for unemployment if you were laid off of your full time job and didn't quit. You are legally required to report your earnings from your part-time job. Those earnings will reduce the amount of unemployment that you receive. You won't get full benefits but you will certainly get at least 50% benefits. I can't give you a specific because I don't know the earnings from either job. Definitely apply though @ 1-800-939-6631

yes

yes I do think that you should draw unimployment from the full time job also.

Answer 6

Yes, under certain circumstances most states do provide "partial unemployment benefits" if the hours are reduced to a level predetermined by each state for eligibility.

Answer 7

No. Persons who voluntarily leave a job without a reason deemed acceptable by the state employment agency are not eligible for unemployment benefits.
