When you are issued a 1099 you are not considered an employee and not entitled to unemployment insurance.
I know that when you are self employed you are not able to collect unemployment. I guess I wasn't clear on what I was trying to ask.
There is a criteria for being an "employee" or "independent contractor". If I fall into the employee criteria I am able to collect benefits. I believe that they were treating me as an employee and getting the benefit of using me as a "independent contractor" financially which is a big no no. So does anyone know what the criteria is for the state of WI? I know that they have like a 10 point criteria but I can't find it anywhere.
