How much can I earn and still receive benefits?:

You must report any gross wages, not net wages, during the week they are earned, not paid. If the gross, not net, wages you earned are less then your weekly benefit amount, you may receive unemployment benefits. However, the amount of gross wages that are over $50.00 will be deducted from your weekly benefit amount. If your gross weekly wages are equal to or more than your weekly benefit amount, you will not be paid benefits for that week.
