It isn't the number of hours you work, and still be eligible for unemployment benefits, it's the amount of money you earned. Each state has its own requirements, but generally you have to earn less than the benefits to still be eligible.

∙ 12y agoUnemployment benefits are NOT a subsidy to being under-employed. They are meant for those who are TRULY unemployed (i.e.: without jobs at all). If you continue to claim unemployment benefits when you actually have some kind of a job you are committing fraud against the government for which you can be criminally charged.

If you get laid off from full time work can you still collect unemployment if you work only five hours a week?
In Illinois it doesn't matter how many hours you work, only the amount you gross during a 7 day period. You are allowed to make up to 50% of your gross weekly unemployment benefits before you start losing money from unemployment. IE...If you gross 100.00 a week from unemployment, you can gross 50.00 from a job and still get a full 100.00 from unemployment. If you make 51.00 from a job, you get 99.00...I would check out your states unemployment website for full details on your state. Hope that helps.
Can you minimize hours at work and still collect unemployment?
Unemployment benefit is paid to those who are out of work. If you find work you must tell the benefit agency or you will be committing a crime (fraud). Depending on how much you earn it may be that the agency will top up your earnings to the equivalent of your unemployment entitlement (if your wages are less) so as to ease you back into full time work.
