How do unemployment insurance benefits work when also working temp job?

If I am collecting unemployment benefits based on my previous job and take a new permanent job which doesnt work out and I am let go again after a few weeks, do I just resume benefits under the previous terms? How long would I need to have worked at my new (failed) job to lose unemployment benefits based on the previous job (at which point, I presume, I would begin receiving unemployment benefits again under the terms of the newer job?). In other words, what precautions/expectations should I have in accepting a risky new job while currently accepting unemployment?

If your claim has not expired and you still have money left to use, then you would just reopen the claim. Your last employer is what will be used to determine your eligibility. The weekly benefit amount will stay the same as it was, once you open a claim you are locked into that amount for the life of the claim (no matter if you work a temp job and earn more money). If you were fired or quit the temp job that could possibly create an eligibilityy issue. If you were laid off because the assignment ended there is no issue.

Another thing to be sure of is the balance of your claim because if your claim has not expired and you no longer have a balance left you will then have to waituntill that claim expires to file a new claim. Unless you are eligible for an extension which you may. However that too is based off how youseparatedd from your LAST employer.

You will have to qualify again for unemployment based on the reason you separated from your last employer. If they just let you go because you couldn't do the work, you're good to go. When you start collecting benefits again it will be based on the claim you are receiving now until your year is up.
