Just wanted to start a discussion on how this is implemented. I spoke to a specialist yesterday, 1/29/21, and was told they’re still working on it. There seems to be confusion as the official stance is it will be added “automatically” to those who qualify - those on regular unemployment who received more than $5k in 1099 income in 2019. But I don’t recall being able to submit any of my self employment income during. The application process as it only took w2.
if anyone has any more information on how to apply for the extra $100/ week please post it here.
OK... I think I follow the main gist: all is not lost! And yes, I have a claim expiring next week, and yes, EDD has just sent me a reminder to reapply (and yes, I DID earn over the $1,200/qtr minimum. Twice during 2020... yay, me). But for the most part, the entire year has been a BEEE-OTCH, because I am one of those "hybrid-earners" who made 90 percent of my income from self-employment, but I do ONE tiny gig back in 2019 on a W-2, and bammo: I am relegated to the wonderful UI "benefit": $157. The other 90 percent I did earn? Ignored... So... my question is, as time is ticking, do I just re-apply with my existing UI (as EDD tells me to do), or, how do I 'switch' to being considered as a 'Mixed Earner'??
Honestly I would take a guess that this is going to be one of the very last things they implement. The bigger issues would be getting all the extensions working for everyone before they consider this MEUC stuff. So I assume once they button up this extension stuff as well as the additional $300 (which I would guess would take them another 2-3 weeks) thats when they would consider the protocols for the additional $100 for MEUC. I'm also hybrid and did not submit anything regarding my 1099 income.
