Am I entitled to unemployment benefits since my employer has cut my hours from 40 to 32 hours?

Carl,

Partial unemployment benefits? I doubt a reduction of 8 hours a week is enough of a reduction to actually receive anything, but you certainly could file a claim for partial…just in case your hours are reduced more.

You can find the information here about partial unemployment for any state.
