Can I work part-time and still receive unemployment benefits?
Yes, you may be eligible to receive unemployment benefits even if you work part-time in Rhode Island. However, there are certain requirements and limitations to consider. In order to qualify, you must earn less than your weekly unemployment benefit rate and work no more than 24 hours per week. Your part-time earnings will be deducted from your benefit payment, and you will receive a reduced amount based on the number of hours worked and the wages earned. It is important to accurately report your earnings when filing your weekly claim to avoid potential penalties or overpayment. Additionally, keep in mind that there may be other eligibility requirements to qualify for unemployment benefits, such as actively seeking full-time work and being physically able to work.
