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

Yes, you can work part-time and still receive unemployment benefits in Virginia, but it may affect the amount you are eligible to receive. The Virginia Employment Commission (VEC) allows individuals to work part-time and receive partial benefits as long as their gross earnings do not exceed their weekly benefit amount. If your earnings exceed the weekly benefit amount, your benefits will be reduced accordingly. However, it's important to note that you must continue to meet all other eligibility requirements, including actively seeking full-time work and reporting any earnings during your weekly claim filing. It is advised to accurately report your part-time work and wages to VEC to ensure proper determination and entitlement to benefits.
