If I take a small hourly job, can I still collect unemployment in Texas?
Posted by brian in Unemployment HELP on Nov 3rd, 2010 | 3 responses


I was recently laid off in Texas. I did not apply for unemployment benefits at first, but I am ready to now. However, I am doing a small coaching job that pays less than half the hourly wage I was making at my full time job. Can I still collect unemployment? Is it more profitable to quit the coaching job so that I can collect unemployment?

    Hi,
    You can but only if your pay period has reduced hours then it’s considered partial unemployment. The amount of hours (not pay) is what they will go by.
