It might be possible. It's almost certainly illegal, though.

Normally you can work and collect unemployment at the same time, though your unemployment benefits will be reduced somewhat. This is intended to cover people who are employed only part time and are looking for (and previously had) full time work. So you can take a job that only gives you two days a week without completely losing your unemployment benefits for the other three days.

However, if you're working full time in Arizona, clearly you aren't looking for full time employment in Illinois. I mean, you might PREFER full time employment in Illinois, but you really aren't in the kind of situation unemployment insurance was designed to cover, since one of the things you have to verify every two weeks when you turn in your unemployment forms is that you were a) looking for work and b) available for work on the days you're claiming to be unemployed. A person in the situation MIGHT fit a, but certainly wouldn't fit b (they couldn't work in Illinois on those days, because they were already working in Arizona on those days). It would be sort of like saying "I'm working full time as a waiter, but I really want to be a movie star, so I should get unemployment too."

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. See the Related Link below for more information.

If you get laid off from full time work can you still collect unemployment if you work only five hours a week?

In Illinois it doesn't matter how many hours you work, only the amount you gross during a 7 day period. You are allowed to make up to 50% of your gross weekly unemployment benefits before you start losing money from unemployment. IE...If you gross 100.00 a week from unemployment, you can gross 50.00 from a job and still get a full 100.00 from unemployment. If you make 51.00 from a job, you get 99.00...I would check out your states unemployment website for full details on your state. Hope that helps.
