Can I work part-time while receiving unemployment benefits?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, you can work part-time and still receive unemployment benefits in Pennsylvania. However, there are certain conditions and limitations to consider. If you earn more than your weekly benefit amount, your benefits will be reduced. You are allowed to earn up to 30% of your weekly benefit amount without any reduction in benefits. Any earnings above this threshold will be deducted from your benefits. Additionally, working part-time does not exempt you from meeting the ongoing eligibility requirements such as actively seeking full-time employment and being available for work. You must also report any earnings each week when filing your claim and provide accurate information about your employment status. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in denial or reduction of your benefits.
