Not positive on part time work, but, if they laid you off after 179 days of work you would then be able to sign back up for unemployment. Usually a 2 week delay between last day of work and first paycheck.

Joe, you also have 179 days to prove yourself worthy of a full time position, either with that company or somewhere else. I started my job as a temp, been there 11 years now. Just a thought, you have to do what is right for your situation.

Im pretty sure in pa after 180 days two 1/4's you put in enought time to collect thats most likely why those bastards are only going to work you 179 days

Joe, every state is different. One thing I would pay close attention to is that, for instance here in Missouri, if you decline work that you are qualified for and is paying more than unemployment, you are disqualified from unemployment benefits. If what the others said is true in regards to CA unemployment, it puts you between a rock and a hard play. Still, personally, if the pay is good I would take the job and in my free time be looking for other opportunities. I do believe it is easier to get a job when you have a job and, like others have said, a temporary position can turn into full time. best of luck.
