If you worked 30 hours, you would report 3 days worked.Īnother change is that you are only required to report up to 10 hours worked each day. For example, if you worked 10 hours or fewer in a week, you should report that you worked 0 days when certifying. Please refer to the chart above to determine how your weekly hours worked translates to the number of days to report. Q: What has changed with my weekly certification?Ī: This system update modifies how you calculate the number of days you report working each week. For example, a claimant who earned just $45 during a three-hour shift would have lost a quarter of their weekly benefits. Under this approach, a claimant who worked part time would lose 25% of their weekly benefits for each day worked regardless of the number of hours worked on each of those days. With this change, claimants’ benefits will not be reduced for each day they engage in part-time work and will be reduced in increments based on total hours of work for the week.įor comparison, NYS DOL’s previous system for partial UI counted part-time work in full-day increments. Under the new rules, claimants can work up to 7 days per week without losing full unemployment benefits for that week, if they work 30 hours or fewer and earn $504 or less in gross pay excluding earnings from self-employment. Q: What changes have been made to partial unemployment?Ī: NYS DOL’s new partial unemployment system uses an “hours-based” approach. Use this tool to help you determine how to report your number of days worked when certifying weekly: If you earn more than $504 in weekly gross pay (the amount of money you earned before taxes and deductions are taken out), you will not be eligible for UI regardless of the number of hours you worked. * Note: If you worked more than 10 hours in one day, you should only report the first 10 hours from that day in your weekly total. The hours cap does not change the $504 gross weekly payments rule – you must still report your total earnings for the week. See the chart below for easy reference: Guidelines for Reporting Part-time Work* Hours You Worked Per Week 31+ hours of work = 4 days worked: 0% of weekly benefit rate.22 – 30 hours of work = 3 days worked: 25% of weekly benefit rate.17 – 21 hours of work = 2 days worked: 50% of weekly benefit rate.11 – 16 hours of work = 1 day worked: 75% of weekly benefit rate.10 or fewer hours of work = 0 days worked: No reduction in weekly benefit rate. If you lost work and you are working part time 30 hours or fewer a week and making $504 or less per week, the following guidelines apply when reporting your part-time work (round up to the nearest hour), effective Augand forward: When certifying for benefits, New Yorkers should refer the new guidelines for reporting part-time work below. This update will apply to the benefit week of Monday, Augto Sunday, Augand all benefit weeks going forward. Instead, benefits will be reduced in increments based on your total hours of work for the week.Įffective August 16, 2021, New York State has modified the rules for partial unemployment eligibility. With this change, your benefits will not be reduced for each day you engage in part-time work. Under the new rules, you can work up to 7 days per week without losing full unemployment benefits for that week, if you work 30 hours or fewer and earn $504 or less in gross pay excluding earnings from self-employment.
