Most states allow this as long as school doesn’t interfere with you looking for a full time job.

Good Question. In California:

The California Unemployment Insurance Code has no provisions expressly rendering students, as such, unavailable for work. However, an inference of unavailability for work does arise when a claimant is attending school during hours customarily worked in business and industry.

Correct – i got to school at night but I still collect unemployment as long as I’m still actively looking for work.
