Unemployment Payments a question about it.

[Krueger81]

Hello,

I was working two jobs for a while and I recently got laid off from one. I still have the part time job but that is not enough to pay current bills. Am I still able to draw unemployment or is that a big no>

Thanks
Phil

Depends on your state, they're all different.

Call your local unemployment office. Rules vary from state to state.

I doubt it. You could always lie, though.

You lie and get caught...forget about collect benefits for a few years.🙁

think it's called a fraud, and fraud against the govt prolly won't get you too far..

from my experience (in michigan) say you make $100 a week from your other job, you'll have to deduct half of your earnings from your elligible pay. so say your unemp was supposed to be $200 a week. if you get $100 from your other job, you'll have to deduct half of that, so $50, so you'll end up getting $150 in your benefits.

dun know if that was a bit confusing for you or not, but if you you have a specific question, you can pm me.
