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

Yes, you may work part-time and still receive unemployment benefits in Washington state. However, there are certain criteria and limitations to consider. As an unemployed individual, you are eligible for benefits if you work less than four days a week and earn less than your weekly benefit amount. While part-time work won't disqualify you from receiving benefits, it may affect the amount you receive. For every dollar you earn, your benefits will decrease by a certain amount. If your part-time wages exceed 1.5 times your weekly benefit amount, you won't be eligible for benefits that week. It is important to report your hours and earnings accurately when filing your weekly claim. Failure to comply with reporting requirements and accurately reporting wages may result in penalties or loss of benefits.
