Question by Wilson: How to continue receiving unemployment benefits in Ohio while working part time?
I am laid off from a machine shop where I started in CNC Operation and set-ups but quickly moved up to quality control, CMM operation, and DMIS programming. I made pretty good money but have been laid off. Unemployment isn’t enough but I can’t find a job making enough to make it worth while to get off unemployment. Is there a way I can work part time to supplement my unemployment and still collect until I can find another job in my field?

You’ll have to look at your state’s laws. In Indiana, whatever income you make while on UI is deducted from your weekly benefit amount (so basically, you’re not making anything more). So, if you are making $ 500/week on UI and working part-time brings in $ 350.00/week, you may only qualify for $ 150.00/week in UI — thus, not making any more than you would on UI. If you can get a full-time job for more… I’d do it.

If you are working a part time job you must report the job and earnings to the unemployment people, and unless you are making a VERY small amount, your unemployment will be decreased or cut off.
you can continue to search for your good job but mean while you can start your own business also which can help you to secure your future.
I am also doing the same thing trying to secure my future.
You just have to spend some times to understand how this business works and will provide you secure royalty income in future
Honestly speaking if you are looking to earn immediate then I will not suggest you to have look at this.
But if you have passions and good contacts and want to secure your future then think about this

I can explain you more about this.
Although specific eligibility requirements vary from state to state, most states have the same basic standards for collecting unemployment benefits. They include:
-You must be unemployed or working less than full time
-You must meet certain income requirements
-You must be ready, willing, and able to work
-You must have involuntarily left your job
In general, you won’t be eligible for benefits if:
-You quit your job simply because you didn’t like it
-You’re fired for committing a crime (e.g., stealing)
-You’ve never worked before
For more information, contact your state’s local employment office. You can also look in the state government section of your phone book under Unemployment Insurance, Unemployment Compensation, Employment Insurance, or Employment Service. Or, you can try surfing the Internet using these same key terms.
I’d recommend you to go ahead and call your local unemployment office, and get a clear answer.
