sounds like something you answered incorrectly is triggering the system to think you are not a self employed individual. Did you review your answers? sometimes they are worded "tricky" and can trip people up when answering them, especially with new COVID questions.

You said reopened a claim???? so you have a current UI claim that is not expired and still has benefits on it that aren't exhausted? that might be the issue. Or were you on a PUA claim right from the beginning? What date did you file the original UI claim?

Hi


Sorry , i checked
"An employee who is unable to work as a direct result of the disaster " i claimed it for march and part of pf April and i went back to work in April- till june 6 , and when i log in , it said i need to "reopen my claim"
and it keep getting error on dat question :
The question is :
"Select from the list which best describes your unemployment status at the time of the disaster. "
My ans which is correct "An employee who is unable to work as a direct result of the disaster" and i put in 40 hrs Pior Disaster
but it kept coming out with Error

What date did you open/file the ORIGINAL claim? Was this a benefit year claim that was already opened prior to March 2020 or did you file a NEW claim in 2020? Did you have any W2 income last quarter of 2018 and 1st three quarters of 2020? I'm trying to establish if you truly had a PUA claim or a regular UI claim opened in March. How many weeks of benefits were you entitled to when you filed the NEW claim?
