First there's this.
There can be lots of reasons to quit a part-time job and focus on your concurrent full-time job. However, from your story, I don't think that was your intent. I think you KNEW you were getting laid off. You told your part-time job you were quitting to get into CTB. I think you put this in writing and it's documented. I think you will be found out.
Therefore, there's real issues whether the full-time job that had a week left to go was BETTER than the part-time job that you could have kept.

Therefore you can get a disqualification for "C. VQ to Accept Other Work - Terms and Conditions Not Substantially More Favorable
You quit your last job with (employer name) to accept other employment that was less permanent or did not pay substantially better. After considering available information, the Department finds that you do not meet the legal requirements for payment of benefits."
In this above decision, there's no doubt you worked a new job, BUT until that disqualification is "purged," the reason for separation from your 2nd to last job is still in play.
When you get that kind of disqualification, then you have to deal with http://www.edd.ca.gov/UIBDG/Miscellaneous_MI_35.htm "VQ and MC are two of the four disqualifications that may have an effective date before the effective date of the claim" "Under the provisions of Section 1260(a), once a VQ or MC disqualification is assessed, the claimant must return to work and earn five times his or her weekly benefit amount in bona fide employment and reopen the claim. The disqualification will remain in effect until the requirements have been met." "A disqualification is purged when certain requirements, called for by the Code, have been accomplished by the claimant. Specific disqualifications may be purged in the following manner:
Sections 1256 (1260[a]) - VQ and MC
A disqualification assessed under Section 1256 may be purged only if the claimant has returned to work in bona fide employment and earned at least five times his or her weekly benefit amount after the act that resulted in the disqualification."

No one's said this. You have to EARN 5 x WBA. If you make big money, you can do it in a day. If you're working one-day a week for minimum wage, you might never do it before your claim expires.I cant find where it states you have to work 5 weeks between the quit and the lay off.
