You cannot claim unemployment if you have a health issue that prevents you from working. Must be able and willing to take a job. I am in same situation had to leave my. Job of 33yrs. do to health reasons and was denied unemployment. I think the only way you get is if you were between jobs all your life and know how to work the system.

Need a ride to get a vaccine? Uber (and Lyft) have you covered!

Did you know that 45% of Americans do not have access to public transportation at this time?

In an effort to help those who wish to get vaccinated Uber said last week that it has partnered with retail pharmacy chain Walgreens to offer FREE transportation to its locations and offsite vaccination clinics in cities such as Houston, Chicago, Atlanta and more!

The initiative comes after Uber pledged in December to offer 10 million free or discounted rides to assure that “transportation is not a barrier to getting the [Covid-19] vaccine.”

Uber partners with a number of health systems, Medicaid, and Medicare Advantage plans to move their 65+ members. These health care organizations can call, schedule, and pay for rides to vaccine appointments on behalf of their patients and those covered by government health programs, adding that riders do not need an app or a smartphone.

Read more about this here on NBC news.

I'm sorry to hear that @Roxana Salgado - unfortunately, we are not unemployment experts and cannot always provide specific advice. I'd recommend that you keep trying to get hold of your UI office or if you’ve exhausted all other options, trying to contact your state representative. You can also check out this article about practices to resolve unemployment issues. Though we are not unemployment experts, we are job search experts! Are you looking for work? Head to our Getting Hired Resource Center to get started!

When I tried to file unemployment last year I just forgot about it when it said "if you was employed before this time" because at that time I was currently on best rest due to complications in my pregnancy. I also have to file as self employed. I was a caregiver for my grandfather and my aunt that were suffering from cancer. They both have passed away now. And I was doing my house cleaning business, which covid put a stop too. TIA #benefits #advice #covid #eligibility #tennesseeresident #helpme

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, @Tara Spurrier . Our thoughts are with you and your family. Here is some information about [what to expect from unemployment this year-(https://www.jobcase.com/articles/what-to-expect-from-unemployment-in-2021), it goes into some detail about PUA which is the program that covers self-employed workers. Thanks!
