Does Uber Income Affect Unemployment Eligibility?

Mar 31, 2017 1 Replies

A person in NJ employed by a NJ company and making $1700 per week is laid off. In NJ, he is eligible for $636 a week in unemployment benefits from the state.



While looking for a new job, he drives for Uber netting (i.e. less expenses of mileage deduction and tolls) about $500 a week . Is he still eligible for the full unemployment benefits of $636 a week or are the weekly unemployment benefits reduced because he is getting some income from Uber ?
