Answer 1

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not define full-time employment or part-time employment; rather, this is generally a matter of agreement between the employer and the employee.
Below is the Dept of Labor web site on the subject.

Answer 2

"Full time" and "part time" are not terms used or defined by federal or state labor laws. They are used by individual businesses to define employees in consideration as to whether they qualify for benefits or not.

As to whether working 35 hours per week is considered "full time", it's completely up to the company. They may require employees to work whatever amount of hours per week they want to qualify for benefits.

Very few states govern employee benefits. You should check with your state labor board for a definitive word on the subject.
