Does anyone know if gig work affects unemployment if your regular job cut your hours? I've been doing some food delivery on the side to make ends meet.
Pro tip: if you can, try to find someone who speaks another language and have them call the non-English line. Sometimes those lines have shorter wait times. Just make sure they can explain your situation clearly!

Hey OP, when you call, ask them to put a note on your account about the DOB issue. That way if your claim gets held up, other agents can see whats going on. Saved my butt when I had a similar problem!
