unemployment question

[bonnie&clyde]

if you are receiving unemployment and you get a part time job do you lose all your unemployment or do they only pay you half?

[Pro88LX]

pretty sure you lose it.

[John -- '02 HAWK]

no you dont loose all payment, it depends on the income lost and income earned.

you have a fixed amount per year to draw from so sometimes its better to not file if you think you'll lose the job or its seasonal/temp work.

[bonnie&clyde]

well my lady has found a job she wants to do but its only part time, and i dont think we would be able to make it if she loses the full unemployment

[Ruffdaddy]

You can make up to 125% of your allowance I believe. But don't let her get fired from the part time...

How do earnings affect your weekly benefit amount?
When you are working while drawing Unemployment Benefits, state law allows you to earn 25 percent of your weekly benefit amount (WBA) and still receive your full WBA. When you earn more than 25 percent of your WBA, TWC reduces your weekly benefits on a dollar for dollar basis.

For example, say your WBA is $200. One week you earn $50, which is 25 percent of your WBA. You will receive your full WBA for that week, and your income will be $250 ($50 in earnings plus $200 in benefits).

The next week you earn $100. This is $50 more than 25 percent of your WBA, so TWC will reduce your benefits for the week by $50. Your income will remain $250 ($100 in earnings plus $150 in benefits).

The week after that you earn $300, which is more than your WBA plus 25 percent. You will not receive any benefits for that week. Your income will be $300 ($300 in earnings plus $0 in benefits).

Note to New Trade Readjustment Allowance (TRA) recipients: If you work part-time while attending full-time training, TWC uses a different calculation to determine your weekly TRA payment. Contact the TRA unit at (512) 463-2999, if you have questions about how to calculate your TRA payment while working part time and attending full-time training.

Here's to hoping the part-time position in something she wants/likes to do will turn into a full-time position in something she wants/likes to do.

Anyone who has worked for a company for a decent amount of time deserves unemployment, not hardly the "titty" being that they earned it. Their company is the one paying for it.

Especially after being laid off when they found out she was pregnant

Especially after being laid off when they found out she was pregnant

If there's any way to prove that was the primary reason, that's slightly illegal.
