Part time (8 credit hrs) and unemployment?

by Kristina Lewis
(Joliet,I.L)

I just had to file for unemployment, but I'm in school only part time (8 Credit hous m,w,f from 8-10:50) Every other day, and weekends, I am available any time to work.
Do You think I'll still be able to get benefits, if not, what could I do because I live on my own and will be homeless if i don't have income?

Hi Kristina,

Since you are located in IL, I'll just direct you to the Illinois Unemployment Law Handbook. The link to it is on this page. The relevant information I think you are looking for begins on page 628 of the handbook.

It would be great if you could come back and post a comment about how you think the information will either help you or hurt you.
