I’ve had my part time job for over a year and really needed the money from it. I currently still have my full time job. I was wondering if it’s possible (in Ohio) to get unemployment because of my part time job loss?
Any info would be very helpful! Thank you!

NO you still have a job.
If you lose your full time job and just had the part time you MIGHT be able to claim, but it would depend on how much you made at each job.
Nope. You cannot be fully employed and collect unemployment. Just because you want more money is not the taxpayers problem. Get a better job.
I don’t think so, but why don’t you contact your local Dept of Labor, but I would think that common sense would tell you that if you have a full time job and you have only lost your part time job that you will not be getting any unemployment.
nope. you need to be unemployed to get unemployment. sucks eh? sorry.
Although specific eligibility requirements vary from state to state, most states have the same basic standards for collecting unemployment benefits. They include:
-You must be unemployed or working less than full time
-You must meet certain income requirements
-You must be ready, willing, and able to work
-You must have involuntarily left your job
In general, you won’t be eligible for benefits if:
-You quit your job simply because you didn’t like it
-You’re fired for committing a crime (e.g., stealing)
-You’ve never worked before
For more information, contact your state’s local employment office. You can also look in the state government section of your phone book under Unemployment Insurance, Unemployment Compensation, Employment Insurance, or Employment Service. Or, you can try surfing the Internet using these same key terms.
Regardless of which state you live in, you’ll receive a weekly unemployment benefit based on how long you were employed and your prior wages. The state will calculate your average weekly wage, and you will receive a percentage of that wage based on your state’s formula. You can figure out your average weekly wage by adding up 12 months’ worth of pay stubs and dividing that number by 52. If you were salaried, just divide your annual salary by 52.
Length will vary depends on your situation. Usually it last up to 26 weeks..
I’d recommend you to go ahead and call your local unemployment office, and get a clear answer.
