But what about those who are self-employed?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CARES Act provides support for contractors and freelancers, through the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance Program.

PUA expands state unemployment insurance eligibility to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northone.com\/blog\/small-business\/entrepreneur-statistics\">self-employed workers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northone.com\/our-customers\/freelancer\">freelancers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northone.com\/blog\/northone\/other\/gig-economy-statistics\">gig workers<\/a> and contractors who normally wouldn\u2019t be able to access these benefits.

It will also continue to evolve at a federal and state level as time goes on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who can work remotely or telework are not eligible for PUA however The CARES Act is incentivizing states to offer short-time compensation programs for workers who have experienced a significant reduction in hours as a result of the pandemic. If you\u2019re not eligible for the Self-Employment Unemployment Assistance, or you simply want to explore your options, we\u2019ve put together <a href=\"https:\/\/northone.com\/blog\/financial-management\/small-business-disaster-assistance-guide\">a guide to disaster assistance for small businesses<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Will_I_Get_From_Pandemic_Unemployment_Assistance\"><\/span><strong>How Much Will I Get From Pandemic Unemployment Assistance?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are eligible for PUA the amount of benefits you receive depends on the state you live in.
