TL;DR: No because you are working full time.

30 hours or more is considered full time in NJ. But in context, I am assuming the job you are separated from is the typical 40hr a week shift since you didn't mention it. If you are working full time, no you cannot claim unemployment for a job you worked 34 hrs a week.

FYI, For partial unemployment, you can not work more than 80% of the hours of the job you are CLAIMING benefits for. Meaning, if you were working 34 hours at the job you were separated from, to claim partial unemployment you cannot work more than 27.2 hours a week at your current job.

Additionally, if you were to claim partial unemployment, then what ever you make (per week) at your current job will be deducted from your weekly benefits.

EDIT: Please don't listen to the "Give it a shot'ers". There isn't a dude sitting at a desk triple checking applications for accuracy prior to approval. Often times people who aren't necessarily eligible slip through and receive benefits they didn't qualify for. The last thing you need is your wages garneshed or your tax return seized because you didn't qualify for benefits (this happened to my daughter). Still unsure? Talk to someone in the unemployment office BEFORE you file.

I gave mine as well. Only fair. I hope you don't or never will have daughters. Or at least have daughters with a partner who understands the world better than you.

It's one thing to be ignorant. It's another to have wisdom and ignore that wisdom.

Would you wipe your ass then eat with the same hand? Someone from 500 years ago might. Someone from today? No way in hell.

I can tell you where NOT to go:

  1. Premier Car Wash in Metuchen. This is the one that's on the way to the Walmart/Costco -- horrible job on a detail (they left the seats completely wet and almost ruined all the electronics). Then went for a car wash for another car right after, and the guy almost backed up someone's Model X into my car. Thankfully I was a good 4 ft behind him and he barely slammed on the brakes. And for this car wash, they charged my credit card a year later because "something went wrong with their credit card system and it didn't charge." Literally a fucking year later. Just avoid this place at all costs

  2. Trax Car Wash On Oak Tree -- another horrible place. Left swirl marks all over my new car (this was a couple of years ago), and I've avoided them ever since. They take no responsibility if they fuck up and are never thorough

I have heard good things about Rahway Hand Car Wash, but go right when they open, other wise they get too backed up. I've resorted to just doing it on my own at this point. It's just tough in the winter after the salt/snow destroys your car. Let me know if you end up finding one that's decent.
