On the other hand, some years ago I was laid off from my full time job, applied and was approved for UI benefits, worked a seasonal job for eight weeks (stopping my claim during the time and starting it up again when the job was over) and when my claim was about to expire, applied for and was hired into a part time position in a completely different field at a much lower level. At the suggestion of the UI office themselves I applied for a new claim when the old one expired, and was approved. The claim itself was for less money and I had to send them copies of my time sheets each week, but I did receive partial UI while working.
So it can happen. The UI office in many cases would much prefer that you are working even part time and receiving partial benefits, than not working at all and receiving full benefits.
