What constitutes self-employment for eligibility for unemployment benefits?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
Under normal circumstances, a person operating as a sole proprietor (an unincorporated business owned by one person) would not be eligible for unemployment benefits. This includes most independent contractors, freelance workers, or anyone else who receives a 1099 instead of the standard W-2. However, if the business is structured as an S corporation (a small business that is a separate entity from its owners) and the individual is listed on the payroll as a salaried employee, then they may be eligible for unemployment in most states.
Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act passed March 27, though, self-employed and gig workers who can no longer work due to the COVID-19 pandemic may qualify for unemployment benefits.
Contact your state's unemployment office to find out more information and file your claim if you need to.

∙ 13y agoNo, because, by definition, the person applying for unemployment was working for someone else, and thus had no other control over his income. The self-employed through his business slowing down or loss of market, does not fit the criteria.

∙ 14y agoExamples of self-employment are: 1) Commission sales (Realtor, insurance sales person, etc.); 2) independent contractor; 3) corporate officer; 4) owner, partner, etc. of own company. All the above are in control of their earnings and are not wage earners, the latter being the ones the unemployment laws protect because they have no control over their working conditions or income. In other words self-employed persons are not eligible for unemployment benefits.

It depends upon the country as this policy is decided by the government and we can only follow the same.
But there should be a law for sure as if any one register with the government for the self-employment and he is paying any kind of taxes to the government whether direct or indirect they are an indirect partner for government revenue.
