where i live if you earn less than 60 dollars per week you can get unemployment assistance
Per the Michigan website page: Receiving unemployment benefits while working – In some cases, you can accept part-time work while receiving unemployment benefits. However, your work must be less than full-time, and your benefits will be reduced according to how much you earn in the week for which you are claiming benefits.
There are three basic principles that affect how much you can earn while receiving unemployment benefits: (1) if your wages are equal to or less than your weekly benefit amount, then your benefits are reduced by 50¢ for every dollar you earn; (2) if your wages exceed your weekly benefit amount but are less than 1½ times your benefit amount, then your total wages are subtracted from 1½ times your weekly benefit amount; and (3) the combination of your weekly benefits and wages cannot exceed 1½ times your weekly benefit amount.
A point to remember: The number of benefit weeks remaining on your claim will be reduced by one full week for each week you receive any benefit payment.
And best of luck getting even a part time position. It’s tough out here.
Depending on the case and the state you’re in, you can be part-time worker while receiving unemployment benefits. In your situation, it seems to be qualified, but I’d recommend you to go ahead and call your local unemployment office, and get a clear answer.
