can you get unemployment if you work part time

[LeJosiah]

In the USA, you can often receive partial unemployment benefits if you work part-time, particularly if your hours or pay were reduced involuntarily, or if you’re seeking full-time work but accepted a part-time job. You must report all gross wages each week, and your benefits will be reduced according to your earnings, but you may still receive some payments.

The NYS DOL’s updated partial unemployment system now uses an “hours-based” method. Under these rules, you can work up to 7 days a week without losing full benefits for the week if you work 30 hours or less and earn below the maximum gross benefit rate, excluding self-employment income. Benefits are no longer reduced per day but instead in increments based on your total weekly hours worked.

If your part-time earnings are less than your weekly unemployment benefit, you may qualify for full or partial payments. Part-time work typically means under 40 hours per week. When certifying benefits, you must report all gross wages, including part-time income, before taxes or deductions, even if you think it’s below your weekly benefit amount.
