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

Yes, you may be eligible to receive unemployment benefits while working part-time in Idaho. The weekly benefit amount you receive will be reduced based on your earnings, but you can still receive a portion of your benefits as long as you meet the eligibility criteria. To qualify, you must continue to meet the minimum requirements for unemployment benefits, including being able, available, and actively seeking full-time work. You must report your part-time earnings each week and any work refusal or availability issues may affect your eligibility. Additionally, your wages from part-time work cannot exceed 1.5 times your weekly benefit amount. It is important to report all wages accurately and promptly to the Idaho Department of Labor to avoid potential penalties or disqualification.
