I am in West Virginia and working as a home provider with a certificate from the DHHR and receiving subsidy from West Virginia for my clients. We are basically on lock down now and I have to close. I called my local unemployment office yesterday and asked if I could receive unemployment. He said since I was paid by the stste I could because I am considered a contractor. Now Im filling out the application and it asks if I am self employed with a simple yes or no response. What would I be considered?
I have been trying to call the office all day its busy I cant get through.
Does the state send you a 1099 though at the end of the year? If yes, you aren’t eligible
Also the state isn’t paying you to work for them. They are paying the daycare families tuition for them.
There is a difference.
If you operate your child care business you are self employed.
Not eligible for UE benefits
