An estimated 350,000 Californians who are self-employed and work part-time jobs can now qualify for an extra $100 a week in unemployment payments.
The benefits will go to those who earned limited regular salaries as well as more than $5,000 from self-employment. Eligible recipients will get a personalized invitation link so they can apply. According to The Sacramento Bee, the payments are retroactive to December 27, and those eligible can eventually get up to 36 weeks of the extra $100. Full information on the qualifications for the eligibility requirements can be found here.
