Unemployment benefits

[Anonymous No.55420782]

I got laid off in December from my W2 software dev job and a month ago started taking unemployment. For the past year I've also had a small side hustle (1099) with another company (maybe 10hrs a week). They have cash flow issues so they owe me a year back of payments. Last week I got a check from them for $1k dated for last July (first check since January) . How do I report this on unemployment? I have been reporting I have been doing 0 hours of work because I don't expect to get paid anytime soon which is maybe incorrect. Their language says you must report the wages when they are worked or whenever the transaction is finalized (which I consider the latter since I can't expect payment anytime soon the transaction is still open).
So do I:
>Report the $1k in one week with about 10hrs of time worked, my actual worked hours
>Report the $1k in one week with about 28hrs of time worked, the number worked to generate that income
>Spread out the $1k over 2-3 weeks with hours reflecting what I'm working this week or prior ones when generated
And should I start reporting the hours worked but $0 in revenue or just continue reporting no hours worked unless I actually get paid.

So how do I report what I got then?

[Anonymous No.55423053]

don't report it

Isn't that fraud and easy to see when I not only deposit the check but do my taxes? It is income from July so before the unemployment period but that doesn't yield well to not reporting hours worked argument.

>>55423024
Why report? Do you think state employment agencies are running full credit background checks? I bet you actually apply to three jobs a week to for your unemployment. Pathetic

[Anonymous No.55423144]

>>55423079
Never know. Better to be on the up and up. I'm already skirting the rules by not reporting my weekly hours worked. I am applying to jobs but not following their requirements. I am fine pushing the rules especially when its deniable but something like this better to be safe on.

it's absolutely fraud, don't listen to this retard
You should call the unemployment office and ask them your questions, but document EVERYTHING they say and do, write down who you're speaking to, because chances are you'll be talking to a diversity hire who will tell you all kinds of wrong shit so you need to be able to prove you were doing everything to the best of your ability and the knowledge you had

Thanks for the reassurance. I was hoping not to call them in case to draw more attention to myself but I could always call from a burner and record the conversation to document it. Didn't expect anons to be unemployment experts, especially not knowing my state, but was a hail Mary especially when searches turn up nada.

you absolutely report the fucking hours otherwise it's benefits fraud.
you realize the government could very well see your 1099 on your taxes, and then they will see your 1099-G and say "hey wait a minute..." and this could even get pulled years from now.

Your client's cash flow issues don't have ANYTHING to do with your benefits, with the DES, or the taxpayers funding these programs in the first place. The fact is you're supposed to be getting this money.

You're overthinking this $1000 dollars. unless you have told them that you make 0 dollars and work 0 hours(oh wait you did) there would be nothing fishy about you getting $1000 for hours worked. As far as I'm aware the DES in most states bases benefits off of hours worked and your hourly rate, not the paycheck you got and especially not for things outside the benefits period.
Since it sounds like you are continuing to work for them you should definitely report it. Since they are backdated a year by the time you get paid for the current hours I doubt you are gonna be on benefits anymore anyways, so maybe no one will be looking anymore... but really if it's within the year it's gonna be on your taxes otherwise you could pass it off as a big contract or something down the line.

Just be honest. You can fudge it a bit to get the benefit of the doubt. Say since they haven't been paying you for a full year's work you weren't sure you should b e reporting it or not.
>use a burner
I don't think that is going to matter you are going to need to talk about your specific benefits case they aren't going to talk to an anonymous random person with anonymous questions.
I really doubt anyone qualified to answer these questions is going to talk to you about it if you pretend to not be on benefits yet. Instead they are going to ask you to fill the application process and then discuss it with your case worker. So yeah, just ask your fucking case worker.

I got laid off 4 months ago and didn't file for unemployment because I thought I'd find another job quickly.

what I wanted to add but run out of characters,
it's very easy to get flagged. I worked a one day temp gig once while on covid unemployment benefits and my wife worked one week at another gig before they decided they wanted someone else. Both times reported the hours faithfully but the agency we go through reported the income as the following week when they paid us. We got some accusatory letters. It was very easily sorted out but they still put the burden of proving it on us... was very easy with our pay stubs. Just don't fuck around with these people, it's a felony.

you'll still pay taxes on it, and at the end of the day that's all the government cares about. You left your old job in December...so you're unemployment should be running out now, right? It only lasts 6 months.

Basically you don't even really have to do anything imo, just report your money as income as you get paid

No, unemployment was only taken like a month or two ago. So should I report the $1k for this week then and then start reporting the actual hours I work but only report the income in the checks I actually get? I only worked about 8hrs this week.
>>55424320
Fair enough anon, I'll do that. I haven't been reporting my hours worked for the past month. Should I just start reporting now and keep going and hope they never look back at the past month or two? I don't expect to get paid for that time period for atleast a year if I had to guess so nothing recent.
>>55424487
It's okay anon, I was slow at requesting it too. I don't know how it works for your state but I'll get up to 22weeks of benefits even though I was about 4months late to start requesting it.

My place of employment was located in a different state than the one of my permanent residence, which one should I request benefits from?

Yes

I’ll bump for OP. It’s a good question, not sure what anon’s problem is.

It’s a bit tricky. You might just call your UI office and ask for advice. Think about what you are going to tell them though. So you got a $1000 check for work you did last year? Maybe just tell them that, and not that you’re working now. If you get a check for work you did recently, then you need to report it if you want to not commit fraud. If they catch you they’ll make you pay back all your benefits.

No I'm just waking up now anon. I don't want anyone's money, just the gov's. You really gotta get back on the meds man, we are two different people.
>>55428032
Thanks anon. So never report that I'm working about 10hrs a week now? So I should just report the money I got but report 0 hours still?
