Can I receive unemployment benefits if I am working part-time?

Yes, you may be eligible to receive unemployment benefits even if you are working part-time. The Utah Department of Workforce Services provides unemployment benefits to individuals who have experienced a reduction in work hours or have become partially unemployed. If you are working part-time and earning less than your weekly benefit amount, you may qualify for partial unemployment benefits. However, there are certain criteria that must be met, such as earning less than your weekly benefit amount and actively seeking full-time employment. It is important to report your earnings accurately and timely. Eligibility for benefits will be determined based on individual circumstances and in accordance with Utah state laws. For more information on specific eligibility requirements and how to apply, please refer to the unemployment benefits section on our website or contact our department directly.
