Good question. My son was laid off as a general manager at his last job and he’s been laid off for about 2 months now. He found a part time job and starts soon as we want to know the same.

I would check with your local unemployment office but you should be able to work part time. You have to report it – unemployment would just be a supplement to your part time job income.

I agree try to file online if possible. I’ve tried calling the toll free number and its a nightmare!

There’s a place on the form where you declare any work you did during the period. You could still receive the benefits but they could be less for the period where you earned income.

what happens when an employer states that you’ve turned down a job? If you have a permanent part-time job and a temp agency offers you a job not knowing how long it would last, do you take the temp position?
