re: When to stop filing for unemployment once the shutdown is lifted Friday?

The site also says as long as your hours are reduced, you can still file. These aren't normal unemployment operations.

John Doe receives $200 from the state, plus $540 with the stimulus for $740 a week. If John earns $250 a week, does he need to stop filing because it's over $200, or keep filing because it's under $740? That's the question that needs to be answered.

If you earn more than $247 per week from a job, you are ineligible for unemployment benefits in the state of LA.

The $600 extra from the feds, to receive you must be eligible for state benefits.

When you put the two together, you get the answer that you are ineligible for federal $600 if you make more than $247 a week. If you make $246 a week, you would get $1 in state benefits and $600 in federal benefits per week.
