The state has begun a “Pandemic Unemployment Assistance” program for self-employed workers, independent contractors, and others who are traditionally not eligible for unemployment benefits. That includes clergy and those who normally report their income via a Form 1099.
The benefits are for up to thirty-nine weeks and there is a special website to sign up, although as of today the website is having trouble processing claims.
