Nevada - Can I receive unemployment while attending school at night?

May I receive unemployment while being a half-time student at night to earn my degree?


Hi Anonymous,

Attending school in Nevada is not disqualifying unless you quit to attend school. This would naturally raise the issue of whether you are able and available for work.

But if you are currently collect benefits and decide to attend school you would be disqualified only if attendance at school interfered with your ability to seek, accept, and work.

If you make a choice to not accept a job due to your school schedule, it could raise an issue of "refusal of suitable work" or the issue of your being "able and available" for work.

Check the very searchable Nevada Unemployment Rules.
