    It is possible that you might be able to receive unemployment benefits if certain rules and limits are met.

    The rules on unemployment compensation are complicated and may vary by state; but if you are making more than some threshold amount on your remaining job, you might not be able to get benefits - or you might get some partial benefits.

    It is best that you visit your unemployment office and find out whether you are qualified. Bring proof of both jobs, personal identification, and a work history with you.

    if you are still working the second job, you are employed.

    in order to collect, you need laid off. you cant quit.
