About 3 weeks ago, I was fired from my last job of almost 3 years. About a week later, I accepted a new job that is very part-time. Does my new part-time job disquailfy me from Unemployment? I really hoped I could have both until I found full-time employment.

It would have been better to use the time to find a full time job and collect the unemployment. You will get less money now, if any at all. Also, now if you quit, you will miss out on some unemployment. The best thing to do is to apply and find out what they say...we can say anything but it is the unemployment office who makes the decisions. Good luck.
No shame to unemployment. Gives you time to find a good full time job. If this part time doesn't work out, get your unemployment and then look for a great job. If you then need something until you get a good job, use the Employment Companies such as Manpower. You can work at many places and know what you like, and they can watch you and perhaps hire you on full time. When I worked for Occidental, they hired me after I worked at Manpower. Some businesses don't like the hiring process and lazily use Manpower type of agencies to do their screening. Good luck.

Hi Victor Cee!
I am currently working for an Insurance company and basically all insurance companies have same policies.
If you left the company regardless if it's due to termination or forced resignation, yes you may apply for an unemployement benefit GIVEN that you don't have other source or income whilst looking for a job.
Yet the story will be different if you already have a part time time. Having any type of job after resginatin whether part or full time will automatically be under the insurance exclusion.
If you had been unemployed for 1 week wiithout ANY sources to cover your basic human needs then, that's the only period wherein your unemployement benefit would be approved (Most likely, the computation will depend on the daily income you receive from your previous work.)
For you to be able to accomplish this, you need to get a certificate of employment from the previous company you worked and you need to fill out an unemployment form.
Hope this addresses your question

Yes. I did so in 2005, having lost my full time job, but still had a 2nd job with about 8 hours a month.
You'll get a form to fill out swearing that you've been able to work, and looked, but couldn't find anything, but if you did get some work, you list how many hours and amount you made. They'll reduce your benefit slightly to compensate for that.
Carlisle is dead wrong. Fired people do collect unemployment, unless they were fired for a major reason, like embezzlement.

What do you think ???? lol
No you cant collect unemployment while you have a part time job, cause you are deemed no longer UNEMPLOYED get it??!!!!!! and its a crime that has heavy consequences if and when caught, dont do it, would be my best advice to you
the girl that answered if you make more than 200 dollars a week you can collect unemployment benefits is on another planet, you can not do that and if there was ever a time you could do such a thing, it hasnt been available in that way for at least as long as I have been working and thats 11 years to date, from when i turned 16...

yes and no,,,, generally speaking and every state has slightly different laws but your unemployment will get prorated... You worked full time for 3 years and will get an amout lets say $300 a week. you get a part time job that earns 150 a week. and your unemployment will go down to a little more than 150 a week so you get rewarded for working at least part time.

You may be eligible to collect partial unemployment benefits because your hours were drastically reduced. Unemployment only pays about 50% of what a normal job pays so it will not come close to the salary that you were making before your hours were cut. If you get laid off the state will review your claim and determine your weekly benefit rate.

Not sure about CA, but here in NY you can still collect unemployment if your income is below a certain level or you work under 20 hours (I think, not sure about the '20' figure). I'll bet it's similar in CA.

Unemployment is a federal not state regulated thing. Yes you can work part time nut you must report your earnings and they will be deducted from your weekly benefit amount.

If you're employed part-time and make more than $200.00 a week you are uneligible for unemployment benefits.

They will take away part of your benefits, but you will get more than you would without the new job.
