Hello all,
Just have a quick question. I currently am enrolled in a graduate program at the local university as a part-time student. Part of my program requirement is that I complete a full-time internship, which is set to begin this fall, and is unpaid. Up until recently, I was working as a teacher's aide in a special education school. The school itself was closed due to lack of funding, and all of the employees were laid off. My question- can I collect unemployment even though I am doing an unpaid, full-time internship beginning next month? According to my class schedule, I am registered for only 6 credits, which puts me as a part-time student and thus eligible for UI per NJ regulations. Technically, I can still actively seek work and if I could find a job at the right salary, would take it. Thanks in advance!
