NJ Extended benefits and part time work (collect, claim, payment)

[Rlukas79]

Can I work part time and collect Eb (not EUC). I know on eb you have to submit your job searches. Will I have to still look for full time work while working part time? Or will working part time stop me from collecting EB?

Whenever you are on unemployment of any kind - EB included - if you work part time, you must still be looking for a full time job if your claim is based on a full time job.

You still collect if your part time job falls under the limits time & money-wise -- say less than 32 hours a week if your usual position was a 40 hour week. Earnings will be deducted from your Partial Benefit Rate - which is a bit higher than your regular benefit rate :

Department of Labor and Workforce Development | Requirements for Payment <br> Report Part-Time Earnings

so are you saying that one must continue to send in the job search form while collecting EB and working part time?

Yes. If you stop sending in the work searches, you will no longer get EB $.
