Can I file for unemployment insurance benefits if I do not meet the definition of a part-time worker, as defined in the question above, but am working part-time?
If you do not meet the definition of a “part-time worker” as explained above, but are working all of the hours your employer has available and your gross pay is less than your weekly benefit amount plus any dependents’ allowance, you may be eligible for partial benefits. However, you must still be able, available and actively seeking full-time work. You cannot restrict your work search to part-time work and be eligible for benefits. Also, you must report your gross wages each week. If you stop working a part-time job, you must immediately notify the Division of Unemployment Insurance (DUI). Failure to do so could result in a finding of unemployment insurance fraud.
