Can I do partial unemployment if losing 4 hours per week?

I have been told I will lose 4 hours per week starting week of May 17 going forward it’s temporary. Is 4 hours loss enough to do unemployment I would go from 40 to 36 hours per week still full time.

    That is not enough of a cut to file for unemployment.

    Not sure how it works in your state but in most (all?) it pays half what you usually make. Then you have to claim any income you make while on unemployment.

    So let's say you make $15 an hour and usually make $600 a week. That means you're eligible for $300 a week. At only 36 hours you'd be making $540. Claim that and you get nothing.

    Don't think you can lie, either, as your wages are reported to your state tax authorities every quarter.

    Generally it depends on the income $$$ you are earning.

    It is unl8kely you would receive anything until you drop below about 25 hours.
