I was laid in 2001 from Motorola and collected unemployment through Illinois. I was allowed to work part time and earn up to 50% of my unemployment benefit, and every dollar earned beyond that was deducted.

For example, my benefit was $400, and I could earn up to $200 for PT work. I could make $600 for a week.

If I earned $201 from PT work, then my unemplyment check would have been $399.

I think this varies state to state.

NIIIICE! How was he? :laugh:

OP, YHPM in a few moments.

Not nice enough because he fired mcmurphy from motorola. I guess the unemployment benefits could be considered a reach around.
