The Division also serves employers by ensuring that only those unemployed individuals meeting all eligibility criteria receive UI benefits, thereby protecting future increases in employer tax rates and the solvency of Delaware’s UI Trust Fund.

RETURN TO WORK

If you return to full-time work, your benefits stop on the very first day you work, even if you don't receive any pay until some time later. You may be eligible to receive a partial payment for the week of reemployment, depending upon the day of reemployment. You must indicate reemployment status on your weekly pay authorization form. Once you have indicated on the pay authorization form that you have returned to work, you MUST report to the office to file an additional claim in the next week that you become unemployed or have reduced hours in order for any further benefits to be paid to you.

If you return to part-time work or are filing a claim of reduced hours, and your weekly income exceeds your earnings allowance, you will be required to report to your local office to reopen your claim. Similarly, if you are working part-time or reduced hours, and you have a week in which no work is performed and no wages are payable, you will need to reopen your claim in-person at your local office.

If you return to part-time work, you must continue to seek full time employment and meet all eligibility requirements.
