Can I work part-time while receiving unemployment benefits in South Carolina?

Yes, you can work part-time and still receive unemployment benefits in South Carolina. The state's Department of Employment and Workforce allows individuals to work part-time as long as their earnings do not exceed their weekly benefit amount and they continue to meet the eligibility requirements. If you work part-time, you must report your earnings when submitting your weekly certification, and your benefit amount may be reduced based on your earnings. However, it is important to note that if your earnings are greater than your weekly benefit amount, you may no longer be eligible for unemployment benefits. It is recommended that you continue to actively search for full-time employment while working part-time to stay eligible for benefits.
