Full time getting less than 30 hours per week

I'm currently a full time employee working in retail. I'm still fairly new, I have been there for 4 months. Recently within the last 2 months, my hours have been greatly reduced. I have tried talking to the person who makes the schedule, they kind of just pushed me aside and didn't go further into it. My fiancé takes me to work and picks me up. Our vehicle isn't reliable so that's all we really do. I don't want our vehicle to drive more than it needs to, so finding a second job is not something I'm looking into doing. I have been applying to other places, because I don't want to stay in this job. I have considered unemployment, but I had to use that last year, so I don't know if I should even attempt to try that again. However, the unemployment checks were a lot better than my current checks. If I could get any input on what I should do, that would be greatly appreciated.

    First, depending on state law, you must be there for 26 weeks (6 months) and terminated by your employer before eligibility for UI in most states.
    If they are dropping your hours below full-time and you are expecting full-time benefits, you need to bring it to the attention of HR because if they drop you below a certain number, it could jeopardize your benefits.

    If you resign, you do not get UE

    It's that time of year for retail. Caution on thinking about unemployment would be the same as prior, it's going to look at a different timeframe of wages earned now. Also, it's not the unemployment agency to cover for you when you just aren't thinking you can get another job due to transportation. Looking at something close to your current role that doesn't require more car usage, get creative.

    If your hours are being reduced to less than full-time and you are anticipating full-time benefits, you should notify HR because falling tiny fishing below a certain number of hours could put your benefits at risk.
