Under the PUA program, a covered individual means any one of the following types of individuals:
(1) Self-employed individuals, including independent contractors;
(2) Individuals seeking part-time employment;
(3) Individuals lacking sufficient work history; and
(4) Individuals otherwise not qualified for regular unemployment compensation under state or federal law, or PEUC.
The phrase “Self-employed individuals” is defined as an individual whose primary reliance for income is on the performance of services to the individual’s own business or farm. These individuals include independent contractors and workers for certain religious entities.
For purposes of PUA coverage, an individual “lacking sufficient work history” means an individual who satisfies each of the following conditions: (1) the individual has a recent attachment to the labor force; (2) the individual does not have sufficient wages in covered employment during the last 18 months to establish a claim under regular unemployment compensation; and (3) the individual became unemployed or partially unemployed because of a qualifying COVID-19-related reason.
