May I ask where you got your information?
This is what I just received from EEC in my state which has mandated that most day cares close:
"Currently self-employed individuals and 1099 contract employees are not eligible for unemployment benefits. If the President of the United States makes a disaster unemployment declaration for Massachusetts or nationwide, the self-employed and 1099 contractors would become eligible for unemployment assistance. This is already coded into the DUA system and would be available immediately upon declaration and press release announcement."
I sure hope the President makes a disaster declaration if it means I'd be eligible for unemployment benefits but so far, that's not the case.
