NJ unemployment question (home, contractor, taxes)

[bobbyfk]

Hi all,

I know I am new here but I hope you can help me with a question I have:

I was laid off from my job in February and have been collecting since the beginning of April, I do have a P/T job with the Home Shopping Network doing orders/CS from my home, they do take out for unemployment and other taxes, it is not a independent contractor position, my hours vary greatly from week to week, one week I may get 35 hours but the next week I may only get 7 or 8. Every week they have been taking an amount out of my unemployment check, I was wondering if after 26 weeks if there is still money on my claim will I get that money? if I was able to get more hours and unemployment starts taking less out of my check will the benefits last for a longer period of time?

Thank You Very Much
