You can continue to claim benefits. Report the actual number of hours you work today before midnight. Anything you work after midnight should be reported when you claim next week.
Yes, you must report your GROSS wages - BEFORE any deductions for taxes, etc. -
the actual week you work -
NOT when you are paid. In other words, if you work 12 hours @ $15/hr. BEFORE TAXES, you report $180 income.

Working and Reporting Income
You may work part time and collect benefits but you must report all of your hours worked and earnings each time you request payment. Unreported earnings cause overpayments that you must repay (see Page 5).
Report your total earnings in the week you earned them, not when you are paid.
The workweek for reporting begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday. You must report:
■ Your total number of hours worked each week. Include your hours and earnings for all your work. (Work is any kind of service for pay. That includes commissions, tips, contract work, and “side jobs.”)
■ Total earnings before deductions (gross pay), not “take-home” pay.
■ Earnings in whole dollars. For example, if you earned $100.75, report $100 and drop the 75 cents.

TX will use its Partial Benefit Formula
Quote:
Working and Receiving Benefits
If you work part time, you can earn up to 25 percent of your weekly benefit amount (WBA) before TWC reduces your benefit payment.
For example, if your WBA is $160, you may earn $40 without a reduction.
If you earn $50, we reduce your WBA for the week to $150.
In both cases, your benefits plus your earnings equal $200. If you earn more than $200, we cannot pay you benefits for that week.
