if you work 40 hour or more at work is that considered full time. Because I work 40 hours or more and they refuse to give me health benefits because technically i'm not listed as "full time" but they give me over 40 hours a week. So when i asked them to list me as "full time" they said no. And are continuing to give me over 40 hrs even though im listed as "part time". What should I do?

Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do except look for a different job. Benefits are given at the discretion of the employer. It sounds like they're listing you as part time because, while they need you now 40 or more hours a week, they don't think that'll be a permanent situation, so don't want or aren't able to commit to you as full-time. I can see that they wouldn't want to give you benefits, then take them away if they had to cut back.
Or maybe they're just cheap.
In either case, about all you can do is look for another job.

Well I know that if an employer has X amount of employees they would have to provide benefits but if is less than the X amount no they do not.
I would check the department of labor from your city or state.

they are playing games with you , contact your state labor board and tell them what is happening, [be prepared to be dismissed for this] your employer does not like being reported, so they will find a reason to fire you...

go to www.eeoc.gov, this web site should answer all your questions. It sounds like you may need to look for another job.
