Question

Unemployment question: So the IDES website changed, and now when you go to certify it has two options. I circled them in red. My question is, if you were found eligible for both, do you have to click both links and certify separately? Or do you just do one and they’re essentially bundled together?  

Answer 1

No only way you qualify for PUA is you have to be denied fir reg unemployment. So since you are not you dont quilfy

@narbada okay I think I was confused, I’m receiving PEUC, the $600 weekly. I think I mixed them up.

@richthofen763 yes you will still get that. PUAy is fir gig workers. Self employed, independent contractors etc.  

---

What if you have an employee job and another job where you're an independent contractor, both of which were affected?

@narbada thank you!

@vinson usually they will go with earned wages. So if you dont qualify for reg benefits with your wages then yes apply with independent contractor. But you have to apply for regular benefits given amount of 0 so that you are denied regular benefits to apply for the PUA

@richthofen763 your welcome
