HELP! Getting unemployment and part time work Michigan

[BITTER]

HELLO

HELP HELP HELP

I am new to receiving unemployment after 7 years of work. My company did not get it's contract. I am receiving full unemployment benefits.

I was offered a part time position at 8 dollars an hour.

I want to know,

**** What amount of hours can I work while being on unemployment? ****

**** Can I work without it affecting my unemployment pay??? ****

I am VERY confused any and all help would be apprechiated. I had heard I could work but every hour I work, they will deduct 50 cents per dollar I earn....

I do not understand why the system would be set up like this, so that I could not earn a few extra bucks while keeping my unemployment? good grief...

HELP!!!!

THANK YOU

Is this work with the same employer? If you do take the job then you need to report the income from it to UC. If you turn down the job, expect the employer to challenge the UC as you were offered employment.

You can read more on the fact sheet here http://www.michigan.gov/uia/0,1607,7...831---,00.html

No this job is not with the same employer but it is for part time work.

It will not be full time or enough to live on.

I want to take it, but will I be entitled to my unemployment benefits while at this job part time?

I will check the site.
