Can Lyft or Uber Drivers Claim Unemployment in 2020?
Can Lyft or Uber Drivers Claim Unemployment in 2020? Can W2 workers still get unemployment when they work part time on Lyft and Uber or any other on-demand job?
Unemployment benefits are usually paid out to workers who receive a W2 at the end of the calendar year. Employers typically pay into the state unemployment fund as part of their own payroll tax and this funds the state’s unemployment benefits.
As more and more Lyft and Uber drivers become full time drivers, they lost their W2 jobs and solely rely on self employed income.

Uber Removes Upfront Pricing and Brings Back Multiplier Surge in California AB5
Uber Removes Upfront Pricing and Brings Back Multiplier Surge in California to address AB5. This is definitely one of the biggest changes to Uber in the past year....
For the last few years, Uber has present riders with a guaranteed fare rate called “Upfront Pricing.” Also over the past few years, Uber has steadily adjusted this upfront pricing to riders so that they can charge riders much more than what they pay drivers. There have been occasions where Uber’s algorithm gets upfront pricing wrong and charges too little, but from all the data I have seen, Uber…

Lyft Quietly Bans Subcompact Vehicles
The vehicle requirements for Lyft and Uber have generally been fairly broad. They used to allow any road worthy 4 door vehicle that has 5 or more seat belts that has passed a vehicle inspection. This allowed many types of vehicles, including 4 door pickup trucks, compact, and subcompact vehicles. Ever since driving my 2004 Lexus IS300, I knew that certain…

Uber Cuts Driver Trip Rates in Two Biggest US Cities
Uber is always tweaking how much drivers earn per mile and minute. When Uber changes the per-mile and per-minute rates, it only affects driver earnings. Passengers pay a completely difference price due to upfront pricing. It is unclear if passenger fare rates will be affected with this change but driver earnings will change.

What Happens When You’re Deactivated from Instacart?
