The amount you can make and still be eligible for unemployment benefits varies by state. In general, you can earn a certain percentage of your previous income before your benefits are reduced or eliminated. It's important to check with your state's unemployment office for specific guidelines.
The fact that you received severance pay, in itself, does not make you eligible for unemployment benefits. There are many reasons a person receives severance, including voluntarily leaving a job, so that is not a determinant.
No, you cannot VOLUNTARILY make yourself unemployed and then claim unemployment compensation because of it.
Can I collect unemployment benefits if I were laid off by my spouse who's a business is a sole proprietorship and files form 1040 schedule C?
Probably yes, assuming you are otherwise eligible for unemployment, the fact that you worked full-time and now only work part-time may make you eligible for some unemployment benefits as long as you are not getting paid each week more than one and a half times the amout of your weekly benefit amount.
This is entirely up to the state paying the benefits. Generally it has to be less than the weekly benefits, but the amounts are indeterminate.
The fact that you are going to college will not serve as a bar to collecting unemployment benefits. But you still need to make sure that you qualify for them in the first place! In order to be eligible for unemployment you need to not be unemployed because you got fired (or at any fault of your own), have worked for a certain number of weeks, and be actively looking for other work. Unemployment is supposed to provide the necessary temporary income for people when they are in between jobs so if you are unemployed but not looking because you are in school, then that is really the only way that I see it affecting you.
i used to make 700 hundred a week how much unemployment can i get
Your state's employment security office would make the determination if the firing was allowable according to company policies or state laws. If it was not, then you probably would be eligible for benefits.
Idaho's unemployment benefits are sad at best. I am not an expert on the subject, but I believe that if you quit a job in the last 16 months for any reason then you are not eligible for unemployment in Idaho. It wouldn't hurt to check with the labor office to make sure though. I once left a job because my paychecks were bouncing. My employer expected me to continue working without pay. Idaho still denied me unemployment compensation for the month it took me to find a new job.
