I have been on unemployment for a few months now and I'm about to start graduate school next week. Recently, I was selected to participate in the RESEA program, and during a phone call with them, I mentioned my upcoming full-time studies. They told me that I could still collect unemployment benefits while in school, which left me a bit confused. I thought that enrolling in full-time school would disqualify me from receiving benefits unless I went through the Training Opportunity Program (TOP). I’ve heard mixed opinions on this, with some saying I can still qualify if I’m available for full-time work and prioritize job searching over school. However, others have pointed out that enrolling in full-time school without proper approval usually disqualifies you from benefits. I'm not sure what to believe and I'm worried about my eligibility.
