    Can a Teacher Substitute While Collecting Unemployment Benifits
    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: California

    I am a laid off teacher in California. I have been collecting unemployment benefits since the end of the school year. My former employer has offered me a substitute teaching job for the first 3 months of school while another teacher is out for pregnancy leave. By excepting this position will I still be able to keep my unemployment benefits’ claim open by stating that I am working "Part-time" or is a long term substitute position like this considered "Full-time"? Also if I turn down this job offer does it make me ineligible for benefits since I turned down employment even though it isn't technically what I consider a "full-time" position? Quick responses to this post are greatly appreciated as the position starts this coming Monday. Thank you in advance.

    If you turn it down, you very well may be determined ineligible for continuing benefits and would have to re-qualify with a new claim after this 3-month period is over.

    States treat temporary periods of work within a claim year differently. In my state, the claim remains open, just inactive, and you can either choose to not make a continuing claim for a particular week by giving the reason or make a partial claim by reporting the wages earned in that week. I don't know about California.
