unemployment and partial job loss

By Terry Savage on April 08, 2020 | Wild Card

Hello,

I work for a large company wit five years of continued full time employment.

Company is cutting full time employees (40 hrs per week to 20 hrs per week)

Would someone (me) in this scenario be eligible for “partial” unemployment benefits?

Terry Says

There is no such thing as “partial” benefits — though there IS “partial work”! And it’s just a guess, but as long as you are still employed you don’t want to mess around filing for unemployment benefits. The system is already clogged up with people who don’t have any income!~
