My working hours have been drastically reduced since recession. As a result, my boss has reduced my salary. I am finding it quite difficult to meet my monthly expenses. Am I eligible for underemployment benefits?


Hi!
Welcome to the forums!
You can qualify for underemployment benefits depending upon the state in which you reside. There are several state programs for helping full-time workers with reduced hours. Several states offer work-share programs to cover the difference between what employees used to earn earlier and what they are earning now (after working hours have been reduced by around 10%-40%. Check out whether or not your state offers such kind of program.
