Can I collect EDD benefits for reduced hospital hours while still working part-time at In-N-Out?

Yes, you absolutely can and should apply for unemployment for your reduced hospital hours! You don't need to quit your In-N-Out job. This is called partial unemployment and it's very common. When you certify every two weeks, you'll report your In-N-Out earnings, and EDD will reduce your weekly benefit amount accordingly, but you'll still get something for the lost hospital income. Make sure when you file your claim, you list both employers. Then during certification, accurately report your In-N-Out hours and wages each week. The system is designed for situations exactly like yours!

ur good! i did the same thing last yr when my construction hours got cut. kept my weekend bar job and still got edd $ for the construction work. just gotta report what u make at in n out each week when u certify

You can definitely receive unemployment while working part-time at In-N-Out, but there are some important details to understand: 1. When you file, list both employers and their contact information 2. Your weekly benefit amount (WBA) will be calculated based primarily on your hospital earnings since that's your higher-paying job 3. Each week during certification, report your In-N-Out earnings accurately 4. EDD uses a formula where they don't count the first $25 or 25% of your earnings (whichever is greater), then subtract the remainder from your WBA 5. Make sure to answer "yes" to the question about whether you worked, and report the exact hours and gross pay You might find that even with your In-N-Out income, you still receive a significant partial unemployment payment due to the hospital job loss.

EDD is SO BAD about explaining partial unemployment!! When I lost my full-time retail job but kept my weekend server gig, it took me FOREVER to get benefits because I didn't understand how to report properly. My advice: when you certify, report your exact In-N-Out hours and pay EACH WEEK separately (don't combine the two weeks). Also, KEEP DETAILED RECORDS of your In-N-Out shifts and pay - I got hit with an overpayment notice because my reporting didn't match what my employer reported. Also be prepared that EDD might schedule an eligibility interview to confirm the hospital actually reduced your hours and didn't fire you for misconduct or something. Good luck!

i think ur wrong about this!!! my cousin got DENIED benefits because she had a second job. EDD told her she had to quit ALL jobs to get benefits. the system is rigged man, they make these rules impossible to understand ON PURPOSE so people give up trying

Have you tried calling EDD to ask them directly? I know getting through can be a nightmare but I used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to an EDD agent in under 10 minutes after I struggled for weeks trying to call myself. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km An EDD agent can give you the definitive answer for your specific situation and help you set up your claim correctly from the start. Especially with two jobs involved, it's worth getting official guidance.

I'm in almost the exact same boat!!! I work at two places too - one cut my hours completely and at the other I still work like 10hrs a week. Applied for partial unemployment last week and got approved already! When you certify for benefits (every 2 weeks) you just report your In n Out income and they adjust your payment. Don't overcomplicate it - just apply!!

Thank you everyone for your helpful responses! I'm going to apply today and make sure I list both employers. I'll keep detailed records of my In-N-Out hours and pay like suggested. I'm relieved to hear I don't have to quit my second job to get benefits for the hospital hours reduction. Hopefully the process goes smoothly but at least now I feel more prepared for what to expect!
