Typically, most unemployment insurance claims are available to individuals whoa re fired, terminated, or laid off, as long as they are on the payroll for the company that ended their employment. Under the COVID-19 stimulus package, self-employed workers, gig economy workers, and other non-employee workers have been granted unemployment if they were laid off or had their hours reduced due to a lack of work from Coronavirus issues.
It appears, in your situation, you may qualify for unemployment under this stipulation. It is best to contact an employment attorney who can guide you through the process, as contacting the unemployment office at this time is almost impossible.
