    Default Can I Still Collect Unemployment

    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: California

    I was currently laid off about 4 weeks ago from my employer due to business being slow. I did file a claim for unemployment and it was not denied and I have already received 1 check.

    A year ago I was working close to 40 hours per week with this employer and then went part-time to around 15 - 20 hours per week. They have asked me to return back to work at 20 hours per week in January, but for a pay reduction of over $12 per hour. I was in negotiations to try and get a better deal before I returned back to work, but they have declined. I was curious if I deny their job offer and don't return back to work if I can still collect my unemployment.

    That will be up to the state to decide. Normally, if you turn down work, you won't get UI benefits. However, if you are only working part-time and/or get a pay reduction, you may still qualify for partial UI benefits.
