I'm collecting unemployment in Nevada. It was my understanding, I would not lose my weekly benefit as long as I'm not working full time or earning over my weekly benefit amount. Last week, I worked part time at min wage. I got a reduction on my unemployment benefit. Why? I thought as long as I followed the above guideline, I would be OK.

1. Are they going to deduct a percentage of what I earned working from my benefit?
2. Are they going to deduct a percentage of my benefit every week?

I basically get a $407 weekly benefit. I earned $166 working last week. They deducted $125 from my weekly benefit. I've never been on unemployment, so I didn't think I was going to get a benefit reduction.

No state allows you to work and collect a full unemployment benefit, unless your earnings are below a certain threshold. Each state has its own method of calculating benefits when claimants work.

NV's partial benefit formula is very close to CA's. NV deducts 75% of your earnings from your weekly benefit $416 - $125 ($166 x 75% = $124.50).

This is what Nevada says - see p. 12:
Quote:
Seventy-five (75) percent of your gross weekly earnings will be deducted
from your weekly benefit amount each week you report earnings. You will
not receive benefits for any week your earnings equal or exceed your
weekly benefit amount or if you are working full time. While you are working
part time or on call, you must seek other full-time work.

http://www.nvdetr.org/ESD%20Pages/ES...s_Handbook.pdf
Download the above Nevada handbook and read.

FYI - to name a few:
  • CA deducts 75% of earnings from the unemployment benefit, excluding the first $25 if earnings fall below $100, thereafter deduction of 75%.
  • NY deducts 25% of weekly benefit for each "day" worked.
  • NJ has a PBR of 20% over WBA from which it deducts earnings.
  • PA has a PBR of 30% over WBA from which it deducts earnings.
and so on and so forth.

The link still works for me - immediately goes into download mode.

Try downloading from this page (English):

draft UINV Benefits Handbooks

Which I got to off here:

UInv - The Nevada Unemployment Insurance Claim Filing System

by clicking on "View Unemployment Handbooks" link.
