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

Yes, individuals who work part-time may still be eligible to receive unemployment benefits from the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR). However, the amount of benefits received may be reduced based on the income earned from the part-time job. The DETR follows specific guidelines and calculations to determine the reduction in benefits. It is important to report all wages earned during the weekly certification process to avoid any issues or penalties. Failure to report part-time work may result in overpayment and the need to repay the benefits received. Therefore, it is encouraged to inform DETR about part-time employment while receiving unemployment benefits to receive accurate and appropriate benefits.
