Can I work part-time and still receive unemployment benefits?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, you can work part-time and still receive unemployment benefits in Arkansas. However, the amount of your benefits may be reduced depending on your earnings from part-time work. The Arkansas Department of Workforce Services uses a formula to calculate your weekly benefit amount. If your earnings from part-time work exceed a certain threshold, it can result in a reduction of your benefits. It's important to report all your earnings accurately and on time to ensure the correct calculation of your benefits. Additionally, you must meet all other requirements for receiving unemployment benefits, such as actively seeking full-time work and being available for suitable job opportunities.
