A) Whether or not you can receive unemployment benefits if you are a full-time student depends on your state’s unemployment laws. In some states, students are not eligible for unemployment benefits, while in other states, they may be eligible under certain circumstances.

If you are considering taking a voluntary layoff, you should contact your state’s unemployment office to find out if you would be eligible for benefits. You can also find information about unemployment benefits on your state’s department of labor website.

Here are some things to keep in mind when you are considering taking a voluntary layoff:

• You may not be eligible for unemployment benefits if you voluntarily leave your job.
• You may be eligible for unemployment benefits if you are laid off, even if you are a full-time student.
• The amount of unemployment benefits you receive will depend on your state’s unemployment laws.
• You may have to repay some or all of your unemployment benefits if you find a new job before your benefits run out.

If you are unsure whether or not you would be eligible for unemployment benefits, you should contact your state’s unemployment office. They will be able to provide you with more information about your specific situation.

Have received enough wages during the base period to establish a claim.

Be physically able to work.
Be available for work which means to be ready and willing to immediately accept work.
