Can a part time fired employee collect unemployment in Illinois?

Eligibility for benefits in Illinois does not depend on whether the job was full or part time. To qualify, you have to take the base period's first 4 of the last 5 completed quarters and you had to have been paid at least $1600 in that period. You also had to have earned at least $440 outside the quarter with the highest earnings. If your part time fit in those parameters then you could collect unemployment benefits.
