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

Yes, individuals who work part-time may still be eligible to receive unemployment benefits in Oregon. The Oregon Employment Department offers the Work Share Program, allowing employees to have their work hours reduced due to business slowdowns, while still receiving a portion of unemployment benefits to compensate for the lost wages. However, it's important to note that certain eligibility requirements must be met to qualify for this program. Applicants need to be available for full-time work, actively seeking suitable employment, and meet the minimum earnings requirements. Additionally, the wages earned from part-time work may impact the amount of benefits received. It is advisable to report any income earned from part-time work to the Employment Department to ensure accurate benefit calculations.
