Can I File For Unemployment If My Hours Have Been Reduced At Work? Where Should I File Online?

You can , and don't be discouraged by idiots making comments if your employed you can't collect. These people are obviously not feeling what we are going through , they most likely are employers not wanting people to collect. Here in California we have a form called a reduced income statement, I am a supervisor ,and was discouraged sharing this info to my workers so they don't file a claim . The employer has to sign off on this form in order for you to make up the days or hours to make you whole again. Even I was taking hours off until I found this info, don't be discouraged try it .

If I get my hours cut can I collect unemployment

Hi
I am a full time employee at a assisted living facility in R.I..My hours were cut 8 hours a week.Can I collect unemployment for the 8 hours.

When I started my job a year ago today my hours were 9am to 6pm. Then they got changed to 9:15 to 6:15. That was ok. Then another employee showed up then we had to share hours. Even that was ok. After awhile she went on maternity leave and someone filled in for her. She came back from maternity leave and the person who filled in for her stayed there, and now there is three of us. Suddenly, I'm not working much nearly as much as I was when I first started. It seems like the other two employees are getting more than there fair share of hours. One employee quit, and now there's two of us. The other employee is getting more hours than me.I don't think that's fair. Now I am "on call" more frequently than the other employee. So my question is- Can I file for unemployment if my hours are getting reduced at work?

Yes, this is in California. For other states contact your EDD.

Hi, I live at Ky, I work at least 25-30hrs a wk at retail store  and this is my only job, Now, they cut my hrs to 4 hrs every two weeks. Getting $25 take home from your pay check every 2 weeks is not worth it, not mentioning the 5 miles distance from my place. Can I file the unemployment.

If you are still working full time, you will not be able to collect unemployment compensation benefits. If your hours were also cut, then you may be eligible to receive partial benefits. If this is the case, then file a claim immediately and ask to be backdated the past four weeks you had fewer hours.

Yes you can I'm on unemployment right now and working part time

My hours at work have been reduced from 40 hours a week to 25..can I get unemployment benefits(california)

Yes, you can work and claim unemployment at the same time. However, the amount of the two combined cannot be more than you were drawing in unemployment alone. Say you were getting $250 per week in UI. At your job you begin to make $175 a week. Your weekly UI will decrease to $75 so the combined total does not exceed $250. If you make more working per week then you do in UI benefits, you cannot draw on unemployment.

From my state (MA) here is an answer: My work hours have been reduced. Am I eligible to claim unemployment benefits?
If your schedule of working hours is reduced, you are typically eligible. You can receive a full benefit for weeks when there is no work or a partial benefit for weeks when there is less than the normal full-time schedule. Generally, you must experience a reduction of at least 1/3 of your hours/earnings in order to receive even a minimal benefit but a reduction of that much or more will usually qualify for receipt of some benefit. The greater the reduction the higher the payable benefit. Your actual eligibility cannot be determined until you file a claim.

I live in Texas & started to file online for a benefit but as I went through the process there was no mention of being able to collect for reduced hours.

Can you please tell me where on the texas workforce commission a person in my situation can file.

You can file for partial unemployment, due to reduction of hours at are involuntary, through no fault of your own. You have to keep in mind that the WEA (weekly excessive amount) does not exceed more than what you can earn for the week to eligible. For example if your WEA is $450 and you work less than 40 hrs, but still earn $500, you will NOT be eligible because you went over the WEA.
