Probably not. One of the key requirements for claiming benefits is that you must be unemployed. If you get terminated and file a claim and then get a part-time job, some jurisdictions will reduce your benefits, and others may terminate your benefits entirely. I suggest you call 1-800-638-3995. You can ask the agency how they would handle the situation.
