temp job, +need base year hours (collect, file, claim, qualify)

[yukon50]

My friend recently landed a temp job that lasts through August. After working this, he will need another 150 hours to reach the needed 680 hours to file a claim.

1. Can he work a series of part-time supplemental jobs to get to the required 680 hours and then file a claim and collect on that claim while continuing to work part-time supplemental jobs?

2. I'm afraid this is job (summer maintenance job) may be classified as a "seasonal" job by unemployment. If so, perhaps this would disqualify my friend from getting a claim? If this is the case, could my friend take one of those 2-day temp labor jobs and then qualify for a claim based on that?

Does any one have any ideas on this? I'm trying to figure this out.

Can't even begin to conjecture until you inform us in which STATE your friend intends to file.

1. Please include your STATE when posting a question. State laws/precedents differ. It is often putting the cart before the horse to discuss a quit/misconduct/claim issue without first knowing your STATE.

Different States have different laws reguarding this. New Jersey for example, if you earn more than $7,300 you can still qualify for benefits even if it isn't the required 20 weeks you normally would have to work to qualify.

Washington State has a 680 hour requirement to qualify, but I'm just guessing that's the State your talking about.

Yes, sorry. Washington State.
