It's somewhat misleading, PP, to only quote that part of your link. To be eligible, the unemployed person has to prove they are actively looking for full time work. The OP is not actively seeking a new job now that her former job has ended. She is continuing to choose to be underemployed because she doesn't have a share family. That would disqualify her. If she gets laid off by her employer, she has a better chance of getting unemployment as long as she shows she is actively seeking full-time employment.

There are other requirements she should review in your link, but this a major disqualifier. If one chooses to be underemployed, they don't get unemployment. If that were so, tons of people would work ten hours a week and expect unemployment to pay the rest. Makes no sense.[/quote]
