Send to a Friend

Do you think the money I received this week for helping out a friend doesn't need to be claimed on my weekly unemployment claim?

To file a weekly claim you answer about 13 Y/N questions.
I did computer work for a friend and got a check for $1300 this week. It was just a one time thing. I don’t think it would count as employment or even self-employment. I’m prepared to let them know, but there just didn’t seem to be a question that addressed this.

Here are the questions:

1) Did you work, as an employee, Sunday through Saturday during the week being claimed? If “yes,” enter the number of hours worked, as an employee,
during the week being claimed.

2) Did you receive holiday pay for the week being claimed? If “yes,” you will be asked “Was there a requirement to work the scheduled day before or the
next scheduled day after the holiday in order to receive your holiday pay?”

3) Did you receive any vacation pay for the week being claimed? If “yes,” you will be asked if you are temporarily laid off with a definite date to return to work.

4)Did you receive severance pay for the week being claimed?

5) Did you refuse work during the week being claimed?

6)Did you quit a job or were you fired from a job during the week being claimed? If “yes,” you will be asked “Have you already reported to the contact center that you quit or were fired from this employment?”

7) Did you attend school or enter training during the week being claimed?

8) Did you receive or change any type of pension, other than Social Security benefits, during the week being claimed?

9)Did you apply for or receive any total disability payment during the week being claimed

10) Were you physically able to work four or more days of the normal work week during the week being claimed?

11) Were you available for work, with no undue restrictions, for four or more days of the normal workweek during the week being claimed? (Note: Being availablefor work with no undue restrictions means there was nothing which would have
prevented you from accepting work had it been offered to you.)

12) Did you look for work, as directed by the Kansas Unemployment Contact Center or Internet claims system, during the week being claimed?

What I did doesn’t seem to fit into any of those categories.

Why wouldn’t they have something that specifically says, “Did you receive any monetary compensation for any work you did, either for an employer or independently?” or something to that effect?
