I filed an unemployment claim against my full time job in July 2006. I was also working a part time job at the time so I have been collecting partial unemployment. Right now I am working full time hours on my part time job because of the Christmass season so my unemployment has stopped. Come January my hours at my part time job will go back to part time. I want to quit my part time job in January and take a temporary job that will run from January 2007 to April 2007.When this job ends and if I have no other job offers I will reopen my claim against my full time job. My question is will my voluntarily quiting my part time job in January affect the reopening of my claim in April?

I'm not sure we have anyone here that has knowledge of that complex of a question. The only one I can think of is robb71; he'll be around soon, I imagine.
My money's on rjc. No offense, Robb!

I'm probably going to incur the wrath of the old forum police, but here goes. This is tricky so follow along. The part time job that you want to voluntarily quit will not be held against you IF AND ONLY IF, you make 10 times your base rate in wages between the time you quit and the time you reopen. for instance if your weekly rate is $90 then you have to make $900 between the tim you quit and the time you reopen.
I don't have any problem with your response; I just wish you'd posted it two months ago when the thread was active. :) :p ;)

I, too, am obviously very late to the party, but to anyone reading the answer would have been "No."
The OP would have quit for full-time employment albeit temporary, yet still a better situation than part-time. Therefore, it would have been considered "good cause."
Once the temp job ends, it is the temp job that will be the seprating , and hence liable, employer. The wages from the former full-time job will likely still be considered when determining the weekly benefit rate, however that employer will not incur liability.
