I was recently laid off from my part-time job due to funding issues, and I'm currently navigating the unemployment application process in Virginia. As I review the guidelines on the Virginia Employment Commission (VEC) website, I notice that it mentions I must be able and available to work, but it doesn't clarify whether this applies to full-time or part-time positions. The application raises some concerns for me, asking if I have a medical reason preventing me from accepting full-time work and whether I'm ready to take on a full-time role. I'm worried that my inability to accept full-time work might disqualify me from receiving unemployment benefits, and I really don't want to be pushed towards applying for disability instead. My preference is to continue working part-time, as I have a history of doing so, but I fear that if I try for a full-time job and my health deteriorates, I could end up quitting and lose eligibility for any support. I just want to make sure that it's acceptable to seek only part-time work given my situation, especially since I was laid off from a part-time role.
