If you do something on the side for extra cash (like drive for Uber) then lose your agency job in a layoff, does your little side gig disqualify you from collecting unemployment?

Depends on the state. I work part time every other weekend so I can collect partially for the weeks I work but can claim unemployment fully for the weeks I don't work at all. That's NY/NJ. Hope it makes sense!!

In CA, seems like ANY income would disqualify you from unemployment.

Check with your state's unemployment office for details. Depends on how much your side gig is bringing in. In Illinois, if you're under a certain threshold (which is pretty low) you deduct how much you made in a given week from your unemployment benefits.

Knew a guy who ended up doing Uber/Lyft full-time and was pulling in over 40k. That'll definitely disqualify you...but you'll probably be bringing in more than unemployment.

In NYC you get about 400 a week, and anything you makes comes out of that. So if you made 300 one week you'd get 100, but if you made nothing you'd get 400.

Thanks all! I'm considering doing something flexible to pay my student debt down faster, but didn't want to preclude myself of collecting unemployment benefits should I ever need to. I'll try to find the answer in my state (surprisingly difficult, btw), but sounds promising.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.

Can someone explain how billable hours work?

I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
