" (a) An individual is 'unemployed' in any week in which he or she meets any of the following conditions:

(2) Any week of less than full-time work, if the wages payable to him or her with respect to the week, when reduced by twenty-five dollars ($25) or 25 percent of the wages payable, whichever is greater, do not equal or exceed his or her weekly benefit amount . . . "


If I am eligible for $200 per week from unemployment, and I've been advised to find a part time job from the EDD, and I find a part time job that pays $180 per week, then:

The greater of these two:

a) 180 - 25 = 155
b) 180 - (180*.025) = 145

is a), which DOES NOT equal or exceed the weekly benefit of $200 from UI.


Thus, this part time job would still allow me to collect UI? Right?

Pshh just do it like all the other people do, sit at home and you're only job will be to walk to the mailbox.

Nm. Shut it down. Reading failure.

They will compensate you only the difference.

So after the deduction, I'm at $155, which means EDD will pay the remaining $45.

Damn I gotta read shit all the way through.

Yes. In (a), you'd collect $45/week
In 9b) you'd get $55/week.

(unless they've changed the deductions since I collected last about 8 years ago.)

from your link:

"He/she performs no services, or only works part time, but he/she has wages payable which when reduced by $25 or by 25 percent of the wages (whichever is greater) equal or exceed his/her weekly benefit amount (WBA)."

"2.Section 1279
If a claimant is unemployed, as defined above, but he/she has earnings allocated to a week claimed, and is otherwise eligible, the amount of benefits payable is calculated according to the provisions of Section 1279 of the UI Code. This section provides, in pertinent part:

"(a) Each individual eligible under this chapter who is unemployed in any week shall be paid with respect to that week an unemployment compensation amount less the smaller of the following:

(1) The amount of wages in excess of twenty-five dollars ($25) payable to him or her for services rendered during that week.

(2) The amount of wages in excess of 25 percent of the amount of wages payable to him or her for services rendered during that week.

(b) The benefit payment, if not a multiple of one dollar ($1), shall be computed to the next higher multiple of one dollar ($1)."

This means that the first $25 or 25 percent (which is greater) of the wages allocated to a week will be disregarded. The amount remaining (i.e., earnings over $25 or 75 percent of the earnings, whichever is smaller) is deducted from the claimant’s weekly benefit amount. If the deductible amount equals or exceeds the WBA, Section 1279 would not apply since the claimant would not be unemployed within the meaning of Section 1252."
