Unemployment benefits and school enrollment
As a regularly enrolled student, you may continue to collect benefits:
- You begin attending a school or college and you are available for and seeking full-time work that does not conflict with classes; and
- You were a full-time student during the two years before you became unemployed and were also a full-time employee for the same period of time during those two years
A fact finding will be conducted to determine eligibility.
You must be willing to change classes or drop out of school if a job conflicts with your courses.
You won’t be eligible for unemployment benefits if you quit your job to attend school as a regularly enrolled full-time student.
