How can a person be filing for UI benefits and be working at the same time? What can be done about it?
An individual may work and file for partial unemployment benefits, providing he/she reports gross monies earned for each week filed. The person is entitled to earn up to forty dollars ($40) or thirty percent (30%) of his/her current weekly benefit amount (WBA), which ever is greater, without a reduction in the WBA. This is called Disregarded Earnings. NOTE: The Disregarded Earnings calculation method will change July 1, 2012. Any amount above the Disregarded Earnings amount is deducted dollar-for-dollar from the current WBA and the person is paid a partial benefit. In order to identify those individuals who fail to report earnings while filing for unemployment, this department has programs in place that will cross match data against weeks, which have been filed. If it appears that benefits have been paid improperly, further information is requested. If payments are later determined to be improper, the claimant will be required to repay the benefits and contributory employer accounts ar
