If it’s legal, it’s ethical. Just answer all the questions honestly.

If you follow the law then it’s ethical. You’re entitled to unemployment so accept unemployment.
Unless you’re one of those people who won’t take govt money.

I don't know about elsewhere, but in NY they have this partial unemployment. So just answer the questions honestly and if you can get it, you get it. Basically, as long as you work under a certain amount of hours a week and earn under $500, you can get some unemployment. I think that for self employed it says making $500 excluding self employment?? I am not sure about how that works.

I reread what you wrote and you are worried that maybe this is "just your business doing badly." Even if it is, you aren't making much $, so that means unemployed.

I've heard about this from a client of mine in NJ as well. He's not self-employed, but he's earning a lot less now than before COVID and qualifies. According to NJ.GOV "Yes, a claimant may be eligible for partial unemployment benefits while working part time due to lack of work. However, the worker's weekly benefit amount will be reduced dollar-for-dollar for all earnings in excess of 20% of the worker's full weekly benefit rate."
OP, check with your state. If you're eligible and struggling, then why shouldn't you go for it?

In New York you can work part time. They ask you to write the amount of hours you worked, 0-4, 4-8 etc...

Actually, I originally wanted to file again for the summer when things were becoming especially dry. The system only let me certify from when I last certified, something like August 2020.
Like another poster said, I have never been eligible for any programs. I’ve never earned enough to be rich but it was comfortable enough to support my family while DH was in kollel. A lot of what I did was essentially marked useless after COVID hit. Most of my earnings since are from odd jobs on a different track.
The system allows me to certify week by week and report my earnings. The problem is, every week there is a question that goes something like this: “Were you eligible and open to working/job opportunities?”. Does this mean I am wrong for not taking any minimum wage job and trying to revive my business instead?
Eta I am in NJ. |
I don't know if they still have it up, but the unemployment website used to have instructions of how to answer these questions, if you were claiming unemployment due to covid. They said to just answer yes to the question you quoted. It doesn't matter that you weren't actively looking for work, it was a pandemic. I don't know what they say about answering the question for current weeks though.
And they were offering unemployment to those who had a partial loss of income. Not sure if that's always, or a covid thing.
I'm talking about in NJ
