Can I get unemployment benefits if there is reduced pay but no job loss?

Hello Rogers!

The Virginia Employment Commission has a straight answer to your query.

According to them, you are eligible for partial benefits. A partially unemployed person is one who, in a calendar week, is employed by a regular employer. He/she had earnings that were less than his weekly stipulated amount, and who worked less than his normal customary full-time hours because of a lack of work.

So, under the Virginia Employment Commission, you will be considered as an eligible person for taking partial benefits.

Thanks!

According to the Virginia Employment Commission, you will be considered as an eligible person for the benefits.

Don't get stressed if it's taking a longer time to receive the unemployment check. At this time, it's taking a relatively longer time for the checks to arrive. Try to manage it until you receive your paycheck. Cut down spending as much as possible. If required, take out a loan from your friends or relatives and pay it back once you get the check.

Well, if your company is offering you a reduced paycheck, then you aren't eligible for claiming unemployment benefits. So, you will be eligible for partial unemployment benefits. To know more, you can visit the Virginia Employment Commission office.
