    Angry Quit Part Time Job While Collecting Unemployment

    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: New York

    I have been collecting unemployment since April of this year. I accepted a part time job offer and it turned out they were only going to give me about 15 hours of work spread out through out the week. In New York, if you work more then 4 days you cannot claim partial benefits. So it I could not afford to stay at the job.

    About two weeks later I received a letter asking me why I did not claim full week. I sent the letter back explaining the situation, now they are holding my payments and I was told it can take about 2-6 weeks for them to 'investigate'. I cannot afford to be left with out any income.

    So my question is, what are the chances they will deny my benefits? Is there anyone i can call so they can speed up the process so I know what my next step needs to be.

    Default Re: Quit Part Time Job While Collecting Unemployment

    They presumably are investigating whether you still qualify for benefits after voluntarily quitting the part-time job. I don't know whether UI in NY will consider your resignation to have been for good cause, as I haven't seen the outcome from a similar case. Contact information is here; I suggest discussing your situation with a case worker.
