I had to collect about 6 years ago here in Indiana. The way it works here it is based on how much you make per week. My lay off was from a full-time job but I was able to get a part-time job. If I didn't make any money for a week I got unemployment. If I earned money I had to report it and they would reduce my check for that week. The good thing was this extended the weeks of unemployment I could get. I was getting the maxiumum per week you could get, but they also have a one year maxiumum. I still was able to get the one year maximum, but it was streched over more months. I beleive I would have run out of benefits in 7 months and I collected for 10 months.
I'm sure this varies by state. So you will have to call the unemployment office and not PC.
Good Luck!
