I have been unemployed for over 6 months and now recieving emergency unemployment insurance.?
I am allowed to make $130 a week b4 they take away any amounts from my UI. I just accepted a PT job for 28 hours a week, and have a chance for another PT job for 20 hrs a week and will work with my schedule on the other job. If I take job #1 I get UI and a paycheck earning me more than an extra $130 week but if I take both jobs I will only make $10 a week more. Do I choose financially or ethically? I really need to get caught up on bills, but the emergency fund is needed for others who cant get a job...please help

Seriously? You're worried about making too much money to qualify for a handout? EVERYONE should have those worries.
You choose ethically.
Especially because it's proof of your work ethic, and being employed makes you MUCH more hire-able than being unemployed.
So take both jobs, and keep looking.

Financially or ethically, the decision is the same: Take the job.
If you have the opportunity to work, but you turn down a job because you want to collect UI instead, then you cannot receive any unemployment benefits.

i would say ethically because 10$ is barely nothing really i would say do that cause then you would have more time to look for a better job you would be more relaxed and could figure things out more clearly and try to live on as little money as possible meaning dont buy something you dont need save as much as you can

i ask your self while the Dems could get the thought possibly the people choose some jobs rather of endless unemployment money. Unemployment money for ninety 9 weeks. provide me a destroy. Why no longer deliver people to community college to learn a sparkling interest ability rather?

Are you wanting to work or not? Thats basically what it boils down to. Many people are unable to find work and do not have a choice to be on unemployment. Your taxes went to fund your unemployment so its not exactly taking money out of someone elses pocket.
