Hi, I recently got laid off and am on F-1 OPT STEM visa, which means I have limisted time to be unemployed.

I just got an offer from an E verified company for a tour of duty contract (1099) position before getting hired as W2 full time Employee.
I am wondering if the contract role is qualified to stop Umemployment days count down.

The company agreed to sign i983 form and will provide supervision and training directly related to my degree.

Anyone had similar experience?
