All Independent Contractors are encouraged to apply
for Montana Unemployment Insurance
The CARES Act creates “Pandemic Unemployment Assistance” to provide unemployment benefits to certain workers otherwise ineligible for unemployment benefits. The CARES Act permits an individual who is self-employed, an independent contractor, or a gig worker to receive unemployment benefits if the individual self-certifies that he or she is able and available to work within the meaning of applicable state law and is “unemployed, partially unemployed or unable or unavailable to work” because of one or more of the COVID-19–related reasons.
