Short story — I drive part time about 20 hrs a week total between both apps. It fills in some income for me. And it’s essential for me to pay my bills for the month. I also have a full time job. However because I work long hours for my full time job, I don’t have time to do Uber or Lyft anymore as we have curfew in my town and that’s usually when I drive. Plus I really don’t think it’s safe to be ride sharing at time like this, especially with so much uncertainty and the virus is in its peak.

Am I eligible for the benefits?

I don't think you are eligible since you are not living in america.

What’s your full time job? McDonald’s?

Seriously, what the frick kind of bills do you have that a full time job won’t cover?

No I actually make a decent amount but I chose to live a little above my means because I wanted have more comfort and live in a safer neighborhood. I was looking for a better job and then this happened

You might have better luck reading the Uber/Lyft subreddits. The SBA doesn't even know what it's doing with typical businesses, much less 1099ers.

You may can supplement through part time work at ALDI or Costco until this passes. GL.

Is it really necessary for you to be a dick and criticize the guy for trying to make some extra money? What the frick is wrong with you. Scumbag.

Why even reply to this thread if you are just going to be an a-hole.
