Can I work part-time while receiving unemployment benefits?

Yes, you can work part-time while receiving unemployment benefits in Alaska. However, your earnings from part-time work may affect the amount of benefits you receive. The state uses a formula to determine how much of your earnings will be deducted from your weekly benefit amount. If your earnings are less than your weekly benefit amount, you may be eligible to receive a reduced benefit. On the other hand, if your earnings exceed your weekly benefit amount, you may not receive any benefits for that week. It is essential to report your part-time earnings accurately and timely to ensure accurate benefit payments. Please consult the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development's guidelines to understand the specific rules and requirements for reporting earnings while receiving unemployment benefits.
