I was laid off, and I am now trying to pick up freelance while also on unemployment. Last week I made roughly double my UE benefits from a freelance job.

Does anyone know if this will disqualify me from future UE benefits, even though it was a temporary, one-time job?

It just means you’re ineligible to claim for that week. You still fill out your claim as always, but you acknowledge that you made more than $504 for the week. You can then start claiming again and getting payment the following week, etc.

Gotcha. I knew I wouldn’t get any benefits for that week, but I wasn’t sure if it would further suspend my claim going forward.

Where did you find work? NY?

I’m not based in NY nor did I find work in NY.

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!
