∙ 13y agoNo. You would be committing unemployment fraud. Because you are supposed to report ALL income, this would include that which you are earning in the other state. Your benefits ''cease'' (legally) when you begin your new job. What '''''is''''' allowed is to work at a low paying (temporary, part time, etc.) job and still receive unemployment benefits as long as you report them and they are less than the benefits you're receiving, which will be adjusted accordingly.
