I was laid off from one job, but have a second job. Would it be possible to collect unemployment from the job where I was laid off, or does the second job make it so I can't?

The best thing to do would be to apply for unemployment. The unemployment office will investigate your situation including what you were earning at you previous job, what you are earning now at your 2nd job, and then they will let you know what (if anything) you qualify for. As long as you are completely honest on your application, you will not get in trouble. It is worth a shot, the worst thing that could happen would be they would turn down your claim.

Unemployment benefits are only for people unemployed due to lawful layoff. You may be laid off from one job but you are still employed. So th answer is no.

Up to a point. If you're on tips and min wage, unemployment can make up for a shortfall in earnings, but you'll want to get your facts straight and disclose early. Look up your state's website and see what the rules are. The last thing you want is a garnishment to reclaim overpaid benefits due to non-disclosure.

You can't legally do that because the state controls unemployment. It really has nothing to do with each individual job.
You could get into some real trouble, I would think, if you tried to do this by lying about it.

Employers make a contribution to the unemployment coverage. in the event that they have many firings they pay extra in coverage. so relatively your corporation is paying you even nevertheless you at the instant are not working. My thinking is, he would be offering you a lesser paying interest, and in case you refuse, he can turn around and checklist you to unemployment place of work, for declining to take a activity.

Unemployment means not working anywhere. You can't collect, if you collect, don't get caught.

Depending on where you live, in Ontario - Canada (it differs from place to place) when receiving employment insurance you can make up to a certain amount each week, if you make more than this amount they doc your EI.... I have never been on it, but I know a bit about it.

I would say "No" you can't as you are still employed by someone
check the employment offices' website...they may be more specific.
