My state has to reprogram their 40 year old unemployment system computers to accommodate the new law. They have no timetable to get it done. Probably trying to get some 70 year old retired state worker to fly back from Florida to fix it.

Anyone else have a full-time job and filing for UI benefits due to "reduced hours" for Uber because of COVID-19?
I submitted a claim in Texas this week, and it was accepted. Just seeing if anyone else had filed.
Did your acceptance letter have the guaranteed $600 @ week added, due to the Worker Stimulus (Care Act) bill that went into effect on March 27th?

It only allowed me to put one job on the app. I will discuss with TWC this week

I didn't state that that on it. I will call them this week.

I did mines couple weeks ago same boat as you. Was denied for regular unemployment but sent me an email stating they will let me know if I fall under the terms of the cares act. I was actually Uber full time making about 4K a month then started a long term sub PE coach gig in Nov. but still Ubering bring in 2k a month on Uber. So that unemployment is much needed.

My app was approved without having to call.
$521 per week which includes 10% federal withholding.
That's crazy and kind of sad that you have a full time job and still qualify for that much welfare.

Do you have children?

I sent a claim on 3/24 in Texas. I finally backdoored my way in to speak to a rep today. I provided her my gross income from my 2019 1040C that I had filed. She seemed well-versed with how to handle rideshare drivers. I was told a request would go to the Texas Comptroller. It is unlikely I'd qualify for benefits from the state unemployment but that the federal unemployment would cover me for the disaster relief. She was very helpful and did not know of turnaround time.

It's all due to the federal program. Like I mentioned above I only listed that I was self-employed through Uber, and the website allows you to click COVID-19 as the reasoning behind the reduced hours. Look at my link above.
