Partial unemployment in New York state? - New Yorker


Posted: Sep 06, 2012

Has anyone ever applied for and received partial unemployment in New York state? I looked at their unemployment benefits website and it looks like if you work at all in a day you are considered to have worked that day and you can only get partial unemployment if you work less than 4 days a week? I have been struggling with very low work or no work for weeks now. I was hoping that I could apply for partial unemployment, but I'm not sure how I would qualify. TIA!

I have not gotten it in NY State, but have gotten it in Iowa. My advice is to just apply and let them make their decision. If they don't explain how it all works for partial unemployment, then ASK, ASK, and ASK again until you are confident you understand their policy. That's what they are there for. Good luck!

I'm not in NY, but my husband gets unemployment and works. - me

My husband receives unemployment. He has not been able to find FT employment but has been working with temporary agencies when there is work. Every week he has to do a report on-line that shows any income he may have received that week. My husband is allowed to earn $91 and still get full benefits. If he earns more than $91 then his benefits are reduced by the amount over $91. Some weeks he has gotten no unemployment because he's been fortunate enough to make more than what he would get in unemployment. They have allotted him a certain $ amount of funds and he has been able to stretch that out since he has worked some. I think the $91 is unique to him and that it may vary bsaed on income prior to unemployment.

There are diffferent tiers of unemployment. The first tier is a federal tier and it would be the same acrosss the board, no matter where you lived, I would think. I think that their if 26 weeks, and then it goes to state funds.

Is It Really Possible To Qualify For Partial Unemployment?

By year's end, I will have made about half of what I normally make working the same number of FT hours.  I've read suggestions on here to apply for partial UI, which could probably save my behind - I'm not sure how much longer I can pay the rent and not sure where me and kids would go.  However, is it really possible to qualify for that considering the nature of our work, paid by production?  Could'nt it be argued (wrongly so!!) that we just slacked off and did ...

I've heard this before, but was unable to find anything about it ... I live in Georgia.  I went through all my PTO over the holidays because of NJA, and now it's the beginning of the week and I'm already 4 hours down.  What good does it do to "work" on holidays, when there's never any work?  I guess they just can't stand paying that holiday pay ... I'm so depressed right now and my first check of 2014 that I will get on Friday is going to be horrible. ...

Partial UE - Let's Try This Again
Jan 24, 2013

I just got off the phone with our local UE office, and the rep informed me that there's no such thing as partial UE in my state (Louisiana). She advised me to ask you all how you answered certain questions when filing your claims, such as "what was your last work date" and "when were you separated from your employer," etc. In other words, did you have to file a regular UE claim, or does your state provide a separate application process for partial UE? I'd hate to file a claim ju ...
