In your state, you may be eligible for unemployment if you work 3 or less days per week and earn less than $430 per week--if you work or earn more than that, you are not eligible. Even if you are eligible, the amount you can receive is less if you are working than if you are completely unemployed: contact the unemployment office and submit a claim to determine what you are eligible for.
