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.
