Long story short. I currently work part-time which is a permanent position at a law firm. I just got a call from my temp agency (after not calling me for months) with a 2 week assignment. I told them that I have a job already working 3 days a week and was looking for an assignment for 1-2 days. Coincidentally, this is the same agency I just recently listed as my last employer to file for unemployment. I worked for them last year for 3 months while I was collecting unemployment from my previous employer who laid me off.

Since I work part-time, I'm eligible for UI. But what if an assignment is given to me which I can't take because I'm already working. I don't want to quit my permanent part time job for this two week assignment. There in lies my conflict. Will my UI benefits claim be denied?

I just have a feeling my temp agency is going to call EDD and say I refused work.
