Generally, most states allow you to hold a part time job and still collect unemployment, provided you report your earnings and accept a modified benefit. You should be able to resume eligibility on your original claim.

First, you need to be eligible for unemployment based on the base period that they are using at the unemployment office. If you qualify based on this, then you will have to go through an adjudication process. If you quit, it is nearly impossible that you will be eligible for unemployment because you quit a job. However, during the adjudication process you and the employer will be able to state your case. You will have to prove that you quit for a really good reason and that you exhausted all possible resources prior to quitting. It is really hard to prove, it is your word against your employers and the burden of proof is on you since you quit.
