If they happen at the same time, you don't have to keep the first. As for the unemployment, you have to report the part time income and then the prorate it. You can collect if you earn less than the unemployment, but you still have to actively be looking for a full time job. Unemployment is not completely a federal program. States run it and the state rules are different. I've collected unemployment in three different states and they all had different rules.

They take off any money you are earning at a job, from the amount you would get from them. Failure to tell them is generally a felony, it's called Unemployment Fraud. That said, all you are required to do is tell them if you are earning money. It doesn't say you can't quit a job and go for a better one, as long as you tell them about the income. (I can't stress that enough) Techically you should report your emploment and earnings activity to the state, so they can make the adjustments to your checks your getting.
