The illustration appears to show that Pandemic Unemployment assistance is something you apply for if you are not eligible for UI benefits. Is there a separate sign up for people like us who might not typically qualify for standard unemployment but will be eligible through PUA?

My opinion state governs all unemployment insurance. Apply online see how it goes

Clearly these mofos don't want to give us the UI.
They won't allow us to complete the application online, which is pathetic and ask us to call them
When you call, there are 3 things that will happen:

1) You will get a message from Verizon: Welcome to verizon wireless, your call can not be completed as dialed, please check the number and dial again (70%)
2) You will get a recording from Dept of Labor : We are sorry, we are experiencing an extremely high volume of calls at this time...yadayadayada (15%)
3) You will get to their automated menu where they make you listen to a bunch of options, input your SS# your pin and after wasting 5 min, they will hang up on you asking to call back later (5%)

Ridley you qualify. Workers comp is not sufficient unemployment pay. Most probably you will get less state unemployment benefit with federal unemployment
NYS handbook i read workers comp in there

This is for the 600 per week? Does it work? Can you still make $400 weekly? What about some saying you can get deactivated?

Hi guys has anything changed for the online fill up for unemployment. I used Uber as employer and provided the 9 digit tax if as found on my 1099. I just wanted to start the process and thought they will correct it if anything is wrong during the phone call.
So have they included any new language in there so we can categorize ourselves as independent workers.
