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

Yes, it is possible to work part-time and still receive unemployment benefits in California. With the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) program, individuals who are partially employed or have had their working hours reduced due to COVID-19 may be eligible for benefits. As long as the income earned from the part-time job does not exceed the weekly benefit amount plus $25, you can continue to receive unemployment benefits. However, it is important to report all earnings accurately and in a timely manner using the EDD's online system, UI Online. Failing to report earnings or providing false information can lead to penalties and potential loss of benefits. It is recommended to review the specific guidelines and eligibility criteria on the EDD website or contact the department directly for more information.
