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

Utah Department of Workforce Services does allow individuals to receive unemployment benefits while working part-time, but there are specific conditions that must be met. The amount of benefits you can receive may be reduced based on your earnings from your part-time work. Generally, if your part-time earnings are below a certain threshold, you may still qualify for a partial unemployment benefit. It is important to report all earnings accurately on your weekly claim, as failing to do so could result in penalties or overpayments that you may be required to repay. Recipients should keep in mind that maintaining eligibility requires being available and actively seeking full-time work, unless specifically exempted due to a suitable part-time position. For the most precise information regarding your individual situation and the latest guidelines, consulting the Utah Department of Workforce Services website may provide further details about eligibility and the specific reporting requirements associated with part-time work while receiving benefits.
