    If you filed a 1099 because you were primarily self-employed, you probably won't be eligible for unemployment. In most states, companies pay a tax to cover unemployment insurance so that separated employees can benefit from it. If you own a business or work as an independent contractor, such contributions are unlikely to apply to you.

    Nope, unless the independent contractor paid into the unemployment insurance fund.

    I don't believe you get anything on a 1099 other than a check. You have to pay all your own taxes social security at 15 percent no workmans comp if you get hurt.Not a good deal in my eyes.

    And out in Cali they are cracking down on drivers getting paid by 1099 when in reality they are company drivers.

    I own my business and get paid with w2. Still it’s going to be hard (nearly impossible) to get unemployment insurance, as far as I know.
