Self-employed are currently eligible for Unemployment Benefits pursuant to the Federal CARES Act. You will need either your federal tax return or 1099s in order to confirm your self-employment as well as to confirm your earnings to determine the appropriate weekly benefit amount. You will be contacted and requested to provide these documents after filing your claim. If eligible you will receive the federal minimum benefit currently set at $168. This will also make you eligible for the Federal $300 payment. Your weekly benefit amount will then be adjusted as appropriate based upon the information you provide.
