Background. I have a felony from 25 years ago (aggravated assault) Have had a decent career in retail/food management but once we got into the electronic age and background checks I haven't been able to find anything that pays the bills and provides insurance.
I'm the king of the multiple part time job. Have worked three jobs for the past year and a half. Was managing a pizza place for the past year. It closed. I am down to two part-time jobs. Filed for unemployment and got everything back this weekend.
Basically I was making $600 a week at the pizza place and the part-time jobs were providing another $350
My unemployment "number" is $475 a week. Roughly half of what my earnings "were". I can make up to 40% of that number without the $475 being touched. Roughly I can make $200 a week part-time.
At which point they would cut into the benefit amount. Is that right? So if I maintain the part-time schedule I have been doing I get penalized?
For those curious UC now runs 26 weeks. I am nervous about that. Not about finding "a job" just finding one that pays the bills.
I had a vacation planned for the first week of September. Should I just take it anyway? This was all planned before the pizza place closed down. I kind of need it. The three job for a year and a half has worn on me.
