Provided unemployment taxes were paid and you meet # credit weeks and wage requirements, you will likely be eligible for unemployment insurance. If your status changes - lose part time job, hours are reduced etc. Call your local office. No, do not quit any employer - unemployment can be adjusted accordingly.

As with all questions concerning eligibility, the final answer comes from the unemployment office. Generally if you are self employed you can't collect either because you have nit paid into it or because you are not available to look for or accept work. There is no penalty for applying and it seems you would need to explain your circumstances further. Just give the best answers you can and let them decide. It is in your best interest to avoid collecting money you are not entitled to - so ask questions too if need be.

If it was because you just didn't want another discharge on your record .. that will not work. You need to focus on a reason "attributable to the work". You need to focus on the fact that the employer said: "I think it's best we part ways". This essentially makes the employer the moving party and could be consider a quit in lieu of discharge.

Even though you gave notice and the employer was so savvy as to let you do this .. when you file for unemployment it's important you make the state understand this. This will allow them to see it for what it really was .. a discharge.

Ofcourse yes, the wages earned might be for the part time job, full time job, permanent job or temporary job. Any earning earned more than $100 per week will be deducted $1 from your compensation you have earned.
