Can I apply for unemployment benefits if I work part-time?

Yes, you can apply for unemployment benefits in Ohio even if you work part-time. As long as you meet the eligibility criteria, which typically includes earning sufficient wages during a specified period and experiencing a qualifying separation from your employment, you can receive partial unemployment benefits. The Ohio Office of Unemployment Compensation calculates your benefits based on your wages and the number of hours you work each week. These benefits can provide financial assistance to compensate for the reduced income due to part-time work. However, it's important to regularly report your earnings, as these will be factored into your benefit amount. Part-time workers, just like full-time workers, have the opportunity to receive unemployment benefits in Ohio if they fulfill the necessary requirements.
