can you get unemployment if you are working part time

[BenjaminLee]

Partial unemployment benefits are often available in the U.S. for part-time workers whose hours or pay were involuntarily reduced or who accepted part-time work while looking for full-time employment. Weekly reporting of all gross wages is required. Benefits decrease based on earnings, yet some payments may continue, extending your benefit period.

With the NYS DOL’s hours-based partial unemployment system, you can work up to seven days a week without losing full benefits if your weekly hours are 30 or fewer and earnings are under the maximum gross rate, excluding self-employment. Benefits are reduced in increments according to total hours worked per week.

Part-time workers whose earnings are below their weekly unemployment benefit may qualify for full or partial benefits. A part-time job usually involves under 40 hours per week. When certifying benefits, you must report all gross wages, including part-time income before taxes or deductions, even if it seems less than your benefit.
