- So the new stimulus plan that was signed into effect yesterday helps a lot of Americans. But did you know that as a self employed person, you can now claim unemployment and get paid? This unprecedented bill expanded the coverage for unemployment payouts, with independent contractors, self-employed, 1099/Gig workers all being included.

********UPDATE:***********
Unemployment applications for self employed, independent contractors, and gig workers are NOT yet available on most state's websites. Please check out this video for the NEWEST information about applying:
• Self Employed? $600 Un...
Watch this video all the way through to see how you could be collecting over $20,000 of unemployment in the next months.
This means that if you are unable to work due to the recent COVID-19 health crisis, you may be entitled to receiving weekly unemployment benefits!

There are two things you should be looking at:
The Pandemic Unemployed Assistance - this is going to expand coverage to you if you're self-employed. Your state should now be able to approve your unemployment if you're unable to work now.
$600/week Payout - this is a government backed bonus payout that everyone with unemployment is entitled to. If you are already collecting unemployment as an employee that was laid off, you also get this!
This means that people across the states will be receive tons of additional unemployment income. This is crazy!
I am making this video to let you know that you may qualify. Definitely check on your states website for the eligibility requirements. They are asking if you are now unable to work from home as a self employed worker - and they will be fact checking so don't BS it!
I hope you guys take action and apply if this is applicable to you! It's FREE money dedicated to help you get by during these hard times. Self Employed people are going to get hit hard, so that is why they are allocating an extra $260 billion into this fund.

1• Some states have two links for the filings .
-General Unemployment portal and
- Direct Unemployment portal
If the states you applying for has two links then u can go directly to the Direct Unemployment portal and file for the assistance
2• Some states have only One (1) link for the filings
- General Unemployment Portal
If the states got only one link, then you must first file at the General Unemployment portal, if you get declined then they will now create a Direct Unemployment portal for you to apply
So in summary, if the states you applying at, has two website links including the Direct PUA link then you can go straight and apply with the Direct PUA link
If the states has only one website link for application, you first apply for the General Unemployment, if you get declined they will create a Direct PUA portal for you
3• When you get to the Employment status, those who filed as ‘Self-Employed’ get higher money than those who filed that they work in companies.
4• If you are asked about how much you earn annually last year , make sure the amount you mention is between $16,850 and $42,100.
The higher the amount u make the better
5• If you chose “Self-Employed” and they ask you what job you do for a living, tell them you a professional photographer and you take professional photos at weddings and parties for a living
6• And if they ask you, how the Covid-19 affected your occupation, just tell them you were booked for weddings and parties for the whole year, but because of this covid-19, you have to cancel all and stay home, so you not making any money
7• When you are asked to file for the 6 weeks,the amount you said u make in a year, you can calculate to see how much you make in a week and then an hour , type of earnings should be self-employed
8• In filling for the weeks, you have to know that the week start with Sunday and ends on Saturday, so if they ask for Week Endings date for each week, make sure you write the Saturday date for each week u filed for.. this very important or they will decline you

This video is about - do your own research online (9:41)!! that's the answer for "how to claim $600/WEEK unemployment" ;))))))
Charlie thank you so much for this video man! I'm helping my mom file unemployment as she is a 1099 nails worker, there is hope!
Jason, make sure to check out my most recent video! Depending on your state there are lags with the system! Hope your mom can get it soon :)
ATTENTION CALIFORNIANS:
When filing for your UI claim, you will be asked for your last employer.
If you own your business or are self-employed, you should list yourself as your last employer.
If you are an independent contractor, you should list yourself as your last employer.
If you believe you are misclassified as an independent contractor instead of an employee, you should list the business you contract with as your last employer. Be sure to include:
The employer name, phone number, and address.
Type of work performed.
Dates worked.
Your gross wages and how you were paid (such as hourly or weekly).
If you are a gig worker, you should list your gig employer as your last employer.
THIS WAS TAKEN FROM EDD WEBSITE
Thank you!!
@@CharlieChang Thank YOU for the informative video!
I've been looking for answers on this as well so I'm glad I could help.
This sounds accurate, though I live in IL. My understanding is that self-employed people self-certify VS an employer certifying.
If your self employed and your business has a DBA name, I’d think you’d want to use that rather than your personal name??
Nicole Lira is a Lyft driver an independent contractor or a gig worker ?
Thanks in advance for a reply...
Hey Charlie! Just filed for it in California. I'm an independent contractor. I applied for the Unemployment Insurance part. Will provide an update on whether or not it worked. Appreciate the information.
Jenny, I can not find anything for independent contractors... My wife and I are telemarketers for a company, we have 1099s, and got laid off due to Coronavirus... they only as for EMPLOYER info and W-2... maybe you can help us out?
@@geneconroy7795 In the section where you will need to type in the type of work you do, type in "sales" under the category for work. I was able to find "Real Estate" as well as "direct sales" by typing in "sales" first. There are about 5 pages to scroll through so if the first page doesn't show you, go to page 2. The page numbers are tiny so you'll have to find it. Let me know if this worked.
What is the link to apply?
@@Slangchang Thank you Jenny, I'll give it a try!
@@TheVerengena see Charlie's pinned comment below
Thank you so much for the info it helped so much now I’ll hopefully be heading to a successful business
you could receive a loan from the relief funds. the give loans to unemployed and you can get as much as $5000 to $40,000
I was hoping he would go through filling out a form so we could see how it's done. :(
this is bull - I called them and they said no $600
Hello gorgeous how are you doing!'m a believer in God who pray every blessed day,am a good Christian, I admire your pretty and I won't` mind to be your friend if you send me a friend request you need a dozen red rose 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 very beautiful.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I’ve been trying for 3 days to get guidance such as this from anywhere and everywhere. Your info finally got me through !
I'm really happy it could help!
Yes especially the California pertinent info from Frank-In-Cisco that you pinned to the top. I used that info to get through the entire application process in 10 minutes. I’d been trying for days! Big thank you to both of you!!
You never actually showed us anything only talked the entire time
Thank you! All I need to know is how to apply. Sheesh
nobody show how to apply for it.there is nothing until now, it is just blabla.
Exactly. He never gave any assistance on how to fill out or apply just who may be eligible. So the title of the video is deceiving/incorrect
Bla bla bla bla don’t loose your time with this bla bla bla bla
As I get to the last few minutes of the video I came looking for this comment. He didn’t give any info other than you can apply, go apply.
Thank you! Super, super awesome and informing info!! Great job!
Loved your Video! Had a quick question: I am a self-employed Recruiter working as an independent contractor. If I wanted to file Unemployment do I check the box that I have an employer (outside companies that pay me for my services) or put No and put myself down as my employer? Thanks for your help!
Thanks bro! I shared ur video with my W2 and 1099 assoicates.
U Da Man!!!
When you apply as self - employed under your LLC, do you put the person/client who is paying you or your LLC name/information?
Thank you hope God Bless you man, your informing people will put food on the table and hopefully can catch up on things
I am hearing updates that how you fill out the unemployment is largely dependent on the state - seems some states are more clear than others, some states have not updated their applications for self employed people, etc. Please make sure to do your own research for your particular state, as the information is changing constantly. Thank you and stay blessed!
You are currect. I noticed when I applied that they have not updated any of their info in the unemployment webpage.
I'm in Tacoma, Wa. I am a self employed hairstylist and I was denied. I was working two jobs. Hairstylist and an office worker. I was denied for my office job as well. I'm very frustrated.
Can you please do video how to answer the question when we applied it
Joey Hakanson how long did it take them to tell you you’re denied
l was doing uber and lyft for 3 or 4 weeks before the covid 19 but l don't know if l'm still eligible to apply?
Hi Charlie, really appreciate the time and energy that you are putting into this. Question: I am self employed and have a W-2 part job, I understand that if I check the box that I do not have an Employer it will bring me to the questions about being self employed. But if I go this route it does not allow me to enter my part time w-2 info. any suggestions? Much appreciated. I believe many people are in the same situation.
Hello. I'm in the same situation. Any updates on that by any chance?
Same here. My niece did it for her part time job, she's not self employed, and recieved her weekly, max amount already . She also just received her account ID so she can even access her full account online. Still trying to figure out how to access that part she got her weekly and max amount. This was all done within the week
I am in the same situation too.
So I just received my letter to report this past week and this week. I am waiting on one more paperwork for my EDD account number so I can see what the approval amount is and weekly. Apparently it runs thru 2021 the insurance. Don't know if its for my W2 work or my self employed one. I will keep you all updated 🥰
Update. So I got approved from my W-2 job part time that I got, but my independent one hasn't been approved and I got disqualified for my two weeks that I reported. I will be sending in every weeks my certification and hope for the best. Was really hoping this would go through and get settled. Will see what the letter says, although I id get in email about getting taxes withheld, im hoping they want me to get taxes withheld and it was just a misunderstanding for my part 🤞
Some states are not ready to accept applications for self employed people at this time. DO NOT apply through regular unemployment. There will be a separate way to apply but it is not ready yet. Keep checking your state for that option to open up. I am a Realtor in PA and know for certain that this is true because we are being updated daily through PAR and NAR, both are associations for realtors PLUS our local board is keeping us up to date.
Thanks for the information.
Thanks so much for this information! It was quite useful, and definitely got you a new subscriber! Much appreciated!
I’m in Massachusetts hope this becomes available soon
Same here, been waiting for it to occur but no cigar yet.
Same still waiting😌😌😌
My friend from Boston has been approved for the PUA. Have you tried to apply yet?
Has anyone in California experienced this: I worked for an employer within the last 18 mos. But, became an independent contractor about a year ago. The Online form says that if I worked for an employer within the last 18 mos ,that is my last employer. Independent contractors cannot be listed as an employer.
I experienced the same thing. very frustrating.
I tried looking at the hard copy form. But it was no better. The drag is my contract job paid way more than my corp job. Any ideas about how to get around this. I’m stumped.
Elijah Barbour by the look at your name you guys are scam artists
Please tell us how. Because I am in Illinois and the website only has that standard application and when I just tried filling it out it did not has the section where I could enter my gross income it's so confusing
In NC trying to apply online and don't know how to answer the employer questions as I am self employed and can't even fill out the location because my work is not located in one spot. I build mausoleums and this requires travel for every project, so I am as lost as anyone else. Suggestions?
I got the same problem 😏
The PA website states they are working on it.
same here! in illinois. no where to enter gross income and i wasnt able to list my children only 1. i think i did something wrong and the office number is always busy. ugh. did you ever find a link that can show how to do this or give full info? did you actually complete the claim yet?
Agreed all the apps are so confusing - I just tried answering as best as I could, hopefully they'll call/email to confirm or speak with a representative
Thanks for this awesome video! I was unsure if I had to be employed by an employer before in the last 18 months In able to qualify for self employment.... I’ve been self
Employed for 15 years
Even California?
@@user-yh3fg9uf1y It doesn't hurt to try. Just be honest when you certify your earnings each week and for previous months.
Oregon: "We are working to incorporate these new changes into our resource guides, and will issue a news release and additional online announcements about pandemic unemployment assistance and unemployment benefit extensions as we receive guidance from the U.S. Department of Labor. Our resource guides for employers and workers can be found on our COVID-19 page. " AKA: Not ready
Mine runs out on the 12th do you think I'll receive the extension automatically??
steavenfranke you can request an extension yes !
More great info from you. THANK YOU, Charlie !!
Hi everyone, I reached out to my local congresswoman in my district here in California. The unemployment (EDD) is working hard to implement those changes on their website. I know its a difficult time now but we need to be patient and wait. Check daily to your state’s unemployment page and hopefully those changes are updated soon! Hope this helps and if I hear anything else I’ll keep you posted!
Hey Hugo thanks for that information. I'm also in California. When the changes happen, do we apply the same way everyone else does or will there be a specific section for us to apply on the EDD website?
Thank you!
@@oojayboogie902oo You can already do it! See comment on top.
Great info ugh! Tahnk you again, my wife and I will do that! We are telemarketers and got laid off due to virus... we are in CA too... nothing on the EDD site yet for Indepentent Contractors.
Gene Conroy Hi Gene, EDD has already posted an announcement on their website regarding “The Cares Act” (Stimulus Package). They are currently awaiting further guidance from the U.S Dept of Labor on how to implement the new requirements for us to apply. Go to website edd.ca.gov and click Covid19 resources to read statement.
What if you already file your unemployment insurance benefits and got approved for your unemployment do you still have to go UI to to file for the $600 extra??
Pheng Lo : no it’s automatic add on top regular state unemployment benefits you have got.
Gotta pump the Brakes on all this stuff
Most States are like Ga, they have not made the necessary changes to their Online Application Process to include Self-Employed
Rushing to apply in many States will only lead to a lot of rejected applications and confusion
Might want to alter your comments to tell self employed people that they'll theoretically get unemployment, cause right now in most States it ain't happening
Yep. Im in Virginia and waiting. I applied early on the regular system so have no clue if my claim will be accepted. Others says it wont be. That you have to wait to be denied then reapply with the new system. If independant contractor. Virginia is working on a system to handle ICs but is not ready yet.
Thanks brother you were a big help already registered for edd thanks for your help navigating through.👍
But is this pandemic assistance a different application from the unemployment one?
Sean Korby v
The feds will use the state supplied information. Likely your state just hasn't updated their site yet.
This is true! I'm self employed here in Texas and just received my first unemployment payment.
Is it true if your working at all you want be eligible
FYI don’t forget you’ll have to put this money, as income, when filing your taxes next year.
Who cares. That's fine.
WHAT THE MEOW? ❣️
Both the stimulus and unemployment extension benefits are tax-free. I can’t speak for people that live in another state but in California if your income is incredibly low you may also qualify for an income credit further relieving you have tax liability
Ok you going loan it then how does that help. Stop being negative
Brittney Hailey who mentioned loan? I said you’d have to claim it as income.
I'm one of the few people who has a W-2 job and self employed. The issue is that the school district I work for is closed so there are 0 hours from my W-2 and my self-employed business breaks even on income vs expense. I literally make no money and am losing money. But Colorado has no way of helping yet as they are not taking claims yet for self employed and I need to file for both.
Charlie Marie isn’t that weird?? Bc even though we can work from home we aren’t making profit to support ourselves. So we are forced to just shut the doors to “qualify” vs keep working at our business during the meantime...and the whole idea of sales vs profit is crazy. Who cares about the sales if the profit is doesn’t cover day to day needs like food & toiletries and gas...
I find it very hard to apply on the drop-down window that has so much menu in Pennsylvania. It took a while but I did it
How do you apply if self imployed is there a special place
@@bigshot2333 there's no specific one I'm sure they'll give you information going to take a while for them to respond
Hey Charlie. Arizona has never paid us unemployment ever, even during the Pandemic. It's becoming very messed up living here.
You can't apply as of March 31st in Illinois as independent or self employed until further information.
Same in Nevada from a source. as of april 3,
"If all of your work in the base period has been in self-employment and you did not file wages, you will not be monetarily eligible for benefits."
States are still waiting for additional federal guidance on how to administer the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program. The good news from this is that is it retroactive from the date you were unemployed.
Very helpful information! Thank you! I checked Colorado's Unemployment page and they stated they are not ready to accept apps from freelance and self-employed. Hopefully, they will get that fixed SOON!!!
What if your a barber how would you do this? I need help ASAP please
JayTy go to pinned post up top and it tells you how to do it
Just apply. My hairdresser applied and got approved.
Thanks for your great video. Very informative and helpful. But I am not sure if I am qualified for this or not..I had a full time job until Nov. 2018 (I got W2). I also have had a side job (as an interpreter) since Mar. 2018. When I lost my full time job in Nov 2018 I didn't apply for unemployment insurance. (I should have applied for UI back then..) But as an interpreter, I didn't have consistent work hours. It is more like gig work (I got 1099 MISC for this job). I go out to interpret for clients only if Language network company notifies me there is a request from their clients, which is not much really.. (I only worked for total 12 days for the entire last year). My last assignment as an interpreter was the Feb. 24, 2020. Since then, I have not heard from Language network about any assignment. I am sure there won't be any assignment as long as Covid 19 debacle continues. It is not like Language network fired me or anything like that but obviously Covid 19 impacted my working hours. In my case, I can still apply for pandemic unemployment assistance? Should I let the Language network know that I am applying for pandemic unemployment assistance? In my State, I must apply for UI first in order to apply for Pandemic one. UI application asks about the income from Oct. 2018 to Sep. 2019. As for income for Oct, Nov, 2018, should I include W2 income from my full time job? or I only add 1099 MISC income from Language Network? And my last employer would be the Language Network? Or should I consider myself as self-employed? I know I will get $0 for UI but I just want to make sure to see if I am qualified for Pandemic unemployment assistance or not. Sorry for a long comment.
I'm so confused some people are saying to wait for California state to upload this new application others are saying apply on the regular one (and either click no on the question of employment or click yes and list yourself as the employer).
You can apply now. I just did it. One thing tho is that there are only certain days and times that you can apply.
@@kellyholland8136 update. So I applied using the method that is pinned on this video (person who posted info is Frank) where you select no employer for last 18 months and it brings you to questions of self employment. Worked! Got approved we didn't have anything with certain days and times 😅
Nellie S you applied as a gig worker or no?
@@rananassar1054 no I applied as independent contractor.
Nellie S thank you so then I guess I can’t apply then. Man hurry up California lol
Thank you for the information
What happens to people who were unemployed before the virus?
If you were unemployed before the virus was announced------would that person qualify for unemployment insurance?
In my research I saw that you can apply to extend your unemployment for 13 weeks
Yes and you get a free car too..., you get a free car!..you get a free car!
Excellent video....I am a CPA and now know what to do with my clients!
I really appreciate you making this video, i feel like a saw it a little bit late but my mother works at a nail salon. When i was looking online for whether or not she would be eligible, it did not look positive because she was one of those small shops that was unemployed and she supported our family that way for 30 years. She can't work at all because they won't let her open her shop up, so I pray that she does end up getting some sort of aid from the state and government. The beauty industry is one of those businesses where you just cant work at home and its hard to even find work at home or in a different industry. I fear that she is going to be denied for the unemployment benefits anyways because most cosmotologists are saying they arent getting anything.
This video is a waste of time no explanation on how to file a 1099 unemployment claim 👎🏼
A "waist" of time. lol
1099 same as ind contr.
Hmm why don't you try searching '1099 unemployment claim'...? (DA!)
covid19jobsnyc *com Tks 😊
C Ryan that’s what I did and ended up by this video lol
How you get it is to work for four days on the phone and internet convincing Louisiana unemployment workers that it applies to you .
Does receiving part time income from the PPP business bill disqualify you for unemployment?
Has anybody been successful in apply for the PUA in Texas?
It’s a great idea in theory but it seems like states are going to delay updating their applications for as long as possible, ultimately not allowing self employed individuals to apply. I wouldn’t be surprise.
The payments will be retroactive until January.
Good evening,
My question to you is and i will elaborate: I've been laid of work(restaurant) 3 weeks ago, filed for unemployment(NYC) and got approved($290 per week), this week I've also received an additional $600.
I have been hired part time yesterday and have an option to choose how much i want to work.
My question is:
1. When will i be ineligible for the state benefit ($290)? After making more then $290 per week or $504 per week (max for NY)?
2. This question is related to the first one. If i make more then $290 or $504 will i be ineligible for the additional $600 as well?
I am asking this because i do need the money but also would need to use NYC subway to get to work which is not safe at all at the moment.
I hope this made sense.
Thank you in advance!
I believe you would be ineligible for any unemployment after accepting work, even if it is part time
Okay no state system has updated yet for us to fill out for unemployment
No kidding! Im screwed!
they don't need to update it. you can already apply. it's just a little complicated. you. i did it myself and helped friends with this. During the filing for the EED in California for example, you have say that you don't have an employer when being asked on the website and that brings you to the questions for unemployed individuals.
@@frankincisco I did this and it did not open any box questioning previous weekly/monthly earnings and date last worked etc... I am unable to submit my application yet...got locked with correct log in. Any suggestions?
@@frankincisco Hi Frank are you getting paid already? Because for uber/lyft drivers there is no special job selection on the question of what do you do on the UI application. I think most people are stuck over there and the closest it gets is the selection of Taxi chauffeur but still not the right selection.Thanks
@@frankincisco how? the issue is the question about employer! pls provide more infothanks
Thanks for giving me a up lift on how to go about getting my unemployment benefits
Can you connect with me please
So I filed my claim last week. It went through but it says my claim balance is $0 and weekly benefit amount $0. So does that mean I did not get qualified for unemployment? Does anyone know? Any recommendations? Thanks.
Me too. I'm just waiting.
Same
Same here! The letter wasn't an denial.... so I continue to make a claim weekly until I get a senile letter.
@@t.edwards7935 so should we reapply for another claim, just start a new claim again?
In Kentucky I was laid off and denied I've contacted the phone lines and they tell me good luck sorry. I am an manager at my restaurant and I'd only worked there 3 days working 7 days a week.they refuse to help me or my family in ANY way how are we supposed to remain calm when you tell us to stay home if we can. Some of us don't have food that's a luxury.
Do you know when we should receive our first check for the extra 600 I'm currently in unemployment
It hasnt even been implemented from US dept of Labor yet to Michigan. Gov Whitmer is waiting to hear Rules and regulations
Thanks for all this information.
600 a week is more then some lazy or part timers make. Not everyone should qualify for this.
I agree. This is insane to me. You have people like my son who works at McDonald's making $12.50 an hour and has to work through this. My daughter is 22 and works as a nurse assistant at Banner hospital for $15 an hour. They are being made to work through this crisis and are not getting paid the same as the people who are sitting at home. It doesn't make any sense to me at all. And the $1,200 stimulus check is a joke. Those of us that are out of work and have had no income coming in are getting a mere $1,200 while we're giving thousands to people who just got a check from a tax return for thousands. Instead of sitting around doing nothing, I went out and found a job during this. I am working at Safeway doing online orders for all of the thousands of people sitting at home. I am also making $15 per hour. And my son my daughter and I are continuing to pay taxes through all of this.
Than*
@@JJ-hw9dt LMFAO what they aren't telling you is this actually is tax'd in some states so be ready. Make sure that you look into if your state requires next year to pay for it....also people should remember this is like a criminal record and will follow you while applying for loans, credit cards, buying car/house....banks have all this info at hand when they do credit and income checks it may or may not matter to a bank if they see this black mark....also has everyone forgotten nothing is free in this world somewhere down the road you're gonna pay for it
Oh, go back to the bottom of your crab bucket.

Both husband and wife as a sole proprietorship, should we apply for PUA benefits jointly or separately? Please advice us. Wanted to apply today.
Interesting question. Have you both tried to apply yet?
@@ericjones363 we did separately as advised by some professionals.
What about if I don’t have enough wages from last year?omg
in Nevada you need at least 16 weeks of work to qualify for benefits
Charles Durham can we file for unemployment yet?
@@charlesdurhamjr9768 QA
really like you from your well prepare presentation. thanks
OMG you’re dancing with your hands 😁
The mortality rate is much lower than previously expected. The shutdown caused more harm than good.
It harder then it seem
It really is
Thank you for the video. I got a job as a software engineer in California and a few days before I started the job, the company called me and told me that they are taking back the offer because of the Covid 19. I did not know that I could apply for the unemployment benefit as a result of that. But thanks to you Charlie, now I know. But my question is what steps do I follow to apply for the unemployment benefit for me? Is there a different section for people like me where we can apply for it or is it the same application as people who lost jobs they already had.
Thank you!
Oh my God, the "about to start work" case for qualifying is one I hadn't heard of yet. Do you have a source for this information? I can't find that confirmed or in writing anywhere.
I was in that boat - signed offer with a mid March start date and everything - and I was positive I wouldn't qualify.
How can that even be proved it seems like a lot of people will say they were going to start a new job even tho they weren't and collect. It makes no sense.
I mean, an offer letter would be pretty good proof - I've got one of those.
Alternatively, their current system allows for contacting former employers to verify employment and reason for termination. I don't see any reason why contacting a was-supposed-to-be-future-employer in the same fashion.
Same here! Did you find out anything?
I was too! Pushed back 1 week, then 2, now on hold......
You can get it if your hrs where cut you can still get ui or puc
This should be titled "who is eligible for unemployment", not how to claim it! Doesn't say a damn thing about how - not that it could, as most states have not yet updated their application process to reflect the new rules. In other words, this is useless clickbait.
really darn good . Thanks.... I did not know all of this
Charlie great video and the important info you provided for independent contractors like myself. I’m from Southern California and the EDD website has not yet made any updates for us to apply for the benefits. I’ll be checking everyday and hopefully they’ll make it available soon! If you have any updates when unemployment has implemented those benefits for us to apply please let us know. I’ll do my part and check the unemployment website everyday for any updates. I really appreciate your help. Stay safe!
Hugo C Ohio hasn't either. Thanks for making your post. I was wondering if it was just an Ohio issue.
Please Hugo keep us notified too !!! What happens if I did not file last year taxes my step mom dose it for me but she's super late doing it
Missouri hasn't updated their site either.
migjty alfie Don’t know if that will be an issue. For now in my state of California unemployment (EDD) has not updated their website regarding self employed and how to apply. I’ll keep you posted!
Hi everyone, I reached out to my local congresswoman in my district here in California. The unemployment (EDD) is working hard to implement those changes on their website. I know its a difficult time now but we need to be patient and wait. Check daily to your state’s unemployment page and hopefully those changes are updated soon! Hope this helps and if I hear anything else I’ll keep you posted!
This is not FREE money. This is you getting money from the government that you and your grandchildren will owe. You are essentially taking out debt to give yourself money today. People should always be conscious of that.
I literally wasted 10 minutes for you to talk about the history of unemployment
Thanks for your help dude.
Ah yeah so people that dont work make more money then people that work I suddenly have depression anxiety back pain and I'll put some small cuts on my arms disability here I come
Surprised I had to scroll so far down to find this comment. Someone working at Dollar Tree (and putting themself at risk of infection) 40 hrs a week for $7.50 only makes $300 a week. Meanwhile people who aren't working will be guaranteed literally twice as much PLUS their regular state benefits PLUS stay safe at home, and of course can still use that time off to brush up on a new skill to start making even more money when they go back to work. Meanwhile, that poor Dollar Tree employee...
Where's the justice?
@@MarcillaSmith They're paying more because they don't want anyone working and inadvertently catching or spreading the virus. This bill was passed in order to pay workers wages and stay home.
@Marcella, I agree 100%. My son is 18 and works at McDonald's and has to work for $12.50 an hour. My daughter is 22 and is now working at Banner Hospital during this as a nurse assistant for $15 an hour. Both are having to work through this crisis and making nothing to do it while others are getting the chance to sit at home and be paid much more not to work. Those that are being made to work should be getting the same amount as those that are being unemployed and not working. I am in the food and beverage industry, lost my job over two weeks ago, and now have another month out of work. I went out and found a job instead of collecting unemployment and staying home as everybody in the United States wants to do now and not work. I am working at Safeway doing all of the online orders for pickup and delivery. I am also making $15 per hour for the month. And to top it off the whole $1,200 stimulus is a joke. $1,200 is not going to do anything for those of us affected by this more than others. Those of us in the industries that are the ones that have lost everything. And my son being that he is 18 and claimed as a dependent by me does not get anything but will continue to work through this and pay taxes for it.
@@JJ-hw9dt There are very few people like you, unfortunately. God bless you and your family.
Thank you so much for the information. Do you know if California will process for self employed? I don't think they have updated the information. Thank you!!
I'm also trying to figure this all out. Not sure if California is even setup for self-employed yet. Please let me know if you figure something out
I am self-employed and worked from home,and made about 5000 last year.Can I get that 600 weekly benefit if my regular state unemployment for me is $0 due to little earnings ( less than $2600 per quarter)?
Quick question. To get the 600 a week, do i just file out state unemployment only? Or do I have to file federal unemployment too?
@@kingvadervlog8280 I'm wondering the same thing!
Damn this video is blowing up! Nice job Charlie!
Really? How is it a nice job? Should be titled "who is eligible", not "how to claim". Most states haven't updated for the new rules yet, so no way he could know. Clickbait. Glad to see people still trying to profit thru deception!
So I was expecting a walkthrough of how to fill everything out
Same 🙄
A lot of lip service
very informative, thank you !
What if I did not file taxes yet ????
You are not required to file till April 15 And that has been extended to July 15
If you’ve done 2018 ones you’re good
As long as you did your 2018 one you're good
What if i already get it now but not much?
@@CharlieChang no did not do them either !!! Just caught up 14,15 and 2016 last year and would not want that reflected. We're doing 2019 in the next few days is this enough time ??¿
Has anyone applied for both self employment and unemployment from a company? I work two jobs and I'm not sure, but does that mean I apply twice?
grubhub/postmate driver qualify?
Char Lee yes, enter them as your employer when applying (im referring to California).
Can I apply for unemployment? I am teaching English online right now as a self-contractor, but I can't really go out and find a job at a grocery store or something since I am living with my parents who are a high-risk group. I have been trying to apply for an additional job on Indeed but am having no luck. I am in Michigan, and am not sure what the maximum numbers of hours you can work for before you are considered disqualified, since I still get a good number of hours. I also got a job with Marriott that I was supposed to relocate to in early June, however that got postponed due to Coronavirus, and I won't be starting until mid-September. I heard that if your job got postponed that might also qualify you for unemployment.
Yes of course. Just be honest when you certify your earnings for each week.
Hey Charlie, I tried to apply for unemployment benefits as a self-employed but I had several technical issues during the application. For example, I have to provide my last employer's information.. but I have no employer because I'm a self-employed. They also asked me if I earned more than $5030 (not remember the exact amount) from my last employer... same thing, no employer. I think a lot of people are having the same issue, if you have an answer it would be great. And thank you for your video !
The same thing happened to me. At first I thoght I was doing something wrong si I woukd start all over and reread everything. Nope, I get to the same page and its not my fault. I can't gve them an employer name, address, and phone number if I'm self employed. If I find out anything I will update you. Could you do the same? This is so frustrating.
@@twoplustwo07 was just trying to fill the application I am a uber driver and the application employment page did not have the section where I could put my gross income. It's the same standard application I dont know how people are applying being an independent contractor. My gross income in the final page shows as 0.00 I am afraid to submit my application can any one advise please
kiki9619 Terry the website’s have not been updated yet. You will need to wait. Most of it is geared to the people who were regular employees.
You don’t know what u are talking about. The states have not updated the web site yet for the self employed.
@@chicagomike do you know when it will be updated ?? Thank you so much
We applied being self insured in NC. We were rejected in hours... They do not have any idea how to deal with the expanded unemployment benefits. We have our congressman who say we are eligible working on it. Sending the money through the states for the self employed was a HUGE mistake. Then factor in that the state government is closed and you have NO MONEY for the self employed...
California has not yet updated its unemployment EDD website. I got an email today from Uber saying it will take several weeks for it to go into effect.
@elChapo TunnelDigger, please clarify, what did Uber say will take several weeks for it to go into effect?
I thought they meant several weeks to start being paid. Maybe I misread ot
they don't need to update it. you can already file through the disaster questions. early on the process you have to say that you don't have an employer and that will bring you to these questions.
@@frankincisco I'm self employed in ca and applied 2 days ago.
Congratulations be among the first 20 people to claim our employment
Cyberaddress on telegram
I'm being put on 1 week furlough every month so I'm trying to figure out if I qualify, but I can't find any information on it.
Then you need to apply each week you are out of work. It seems like it will be a pain, but the initial application is the booger. Then after than you have an online log in and right before each week you are not working you file a weekly claim. Typically unemployed people have to do this EVERY week in order to continue getting unemployement. So it’s no different for you. Just file for that week, don’t file for the weeks you’re able to work, then file again when not working. Don’t quote me on this as I don’t know if the weekly filing has been stopped due to covid19, but if not, then this is how it’s done. Hope that helps!
Yes you would qualify because of the drop in hours.
Thanks for the replies!
yes claim each week
The michigan site doesnt even offer the option for 1099 or independent contractors as of 4/9/20. I applied anyways hoping it would go through and my claim was denied.
Same here, I'm in Michigan too. I wondered if maybe I was supposed to apply as an employer instead but didn't want to complicate things any further. This whole process is ridiculously confusing.
I’m in Arkansas, I’m a self employed independent contractor (1099 employee) for Painting and I haven’t worked in 2 weeks due to my children having to stay home. Where can I apply for this? I tried searching on our state page but i see nothing about applying for self employed employee.
www.dws.arkansas.gov/unemployment/
This link should give you some insight. Not in Arkansas so I didn't read through it completely but it seems that you will likely have to go in to any Arkansas Workforce Center office in person. It did mention an online option, however I'm not sure if it's only for additional information about your claim or if you are able to file the whole claimed via internet.
What if you have two jobs and one is an employee and the other is self employed?
Ive been unemployed for about two weeks now. When will the $600 show up? Does that mean I am going to get $1200 for the weeks they didnt give me $600?
Darryl Ramos they should be coming out in mid April
You made a very helpful video
I am an Independant Contractor this pandemic program edd will be giving for self employed is not available yet to apply
It depends on the state you are in Koko, some States like New York ask all of their unemployed workers (including contractors and self employed ) to apply through Unemployment Insurance process then from there, they divide up to employees vs contractors/self employed. Check your States website.
I am currently collecting unemployment as a small business owner (S-Corp), sold some business assets, Computer ($449) Console ($92), I also purchased a new
Computer for ($900), do you know if I need to tell Unemployment that I made income this week? Would that even be considered income? I am in AZ.

They go back 18 months
@@MC-so6wb PUA doesnt have any options for self employed, only employers
Thank you. Very informative.
Should I reapply? I applied for unemployment in mid March knowing I’d most likely get denied for being self employed but now since the new law went into effect, should I reapply or will they automatically know about my case?

If you applied for unemployment benefits but did not monetarily qualify, no action is needed. We will determine if you qualify under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) and notify you by mail or electronic correspondence of your eligibility.
If you are still unemployed, continue to request payment. You can request payment using Unemployment Benefits Services at ui.texasworkforce.org and select Payment Request. Or call Tele-Serv between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Central time at 800-558-8321 and select Option 1.
Please be patient as we are working as fast as possible to adjust our programming to fit this new law.
thank you for this great video. i got a $ 5000 EIDL. if you did not receive your funds maybe you did it the wrong way or something is missing
