The need for unemployment pay among freelancers is acute after California shut down much of its economy to slow coronavirus' spread. But state employment officials have yet to implement new rules that give freelancers unemployment insurance coverage.

By Monday afternoon, the state’s unemployment benefits website included ainformation page. However, it repeated that is was waiting for guidance before implementing the CARES Act.
Several federal laws have passed in recent weeks to provide paid time off, $1,200 stimulus checks, and unemployment coverage for people otherwise barred from staking a claim to the nation’s primary safety net for displaced workers.

However, unemployment benefits are administered through a federal-state partnership. While the federal government provides some rules, states are given freedom to set their own limitations and administer the programs.
