You might be failing to take the value of your fringe benefits into this equation. Does your employer provide things like employer sponsored group health insurance coverage, a retirement plan with employer matching, short and/or long term disability insurance, life insurance etc. Unemployment doesn’t provide any of those things and they have a value as part of your total compensation package.
Good reminder of the benefits; although, during this time they are not matching in the Retirement plan. I was wondering how Cmdjr85 was back to work, but still able to collect the $600?
I don't want to go back to work. I'm wondering how the financial crisis has affected my plan to retire this year?
Cmdjr85 is in New York, which deducts 25% of your benefits for each day worked in the week. Since they went from FT to PT, they retain eligibility for a partial benefit. Even $1 in benefits gets you the $600.
Wasnt there something with the CARES plan though, that you didnt have to take the job, if it put your life at risk?
This is from Mass:
I am concerned about being exposed to COVID-19 and plan to quit my job. Am I eligible for unemployment benefits?
It depends. Under current law, employees that demonstrate that they left work due to “urgent, compelling, and necessitous circumstances” are eligible for benefits. Such determinations are driven by the facts of the individual case. An employee who leaves work because of a fear of being exposed to COVID-19 will need to demonstrate, among other things, that such fear was reasonable in the circumstances.

There's a huge difference between LEAVING a position due to documented and communicated safety concerns, and rejecting a return to work offer for purely financial reasons.
We also don't know the state the OP is based in, which would have a lot to do with this as well.
Bottom line, rejecting the job will create a litany of problems that I don't see a clear path through at this time.
I'm in Minnesota. I'm a Nurse, work in the OR at a Day Surgery Center. We are doing only emergent cases. We're having to reuse PPE, but I think that is not uncommon, maybe a new standard during these times.

You’d have to return to work, document and validate that OSHA requirements are not being met, give the employer a chance to correct, and then you’ll have a valid appeal case for the denial.
Right, not a good way to treat my employer though....
Like I said, you’d have the potential to lose everything.
