“The government doesn’t even consider landlord income to be employment income.”
But it does, actually, once you start tripping certain thresholds. Which you presumably don’t meet, fortunately or unfortunately for you.
It’d be interesting if you owned a whole apartment building and were collecting unemployment but I don’t think the system’s that broken yet.
What’s potentially interesting about your situation is that if you were to be doing gig economy work for the same pay it might well deduct 1:1 from unemployment benefits, but then the people who read your comment are right back to wondering if your situation is due to the actual law or a misfiling because of a speech error in describing the situation.
And obviously this is all complicated by the fact that US unemployment is usually enacted on a state level, so one state government might allow this and another might not.
I looked into gig work to supplement my unemployment and it deducts 75:1 in my state. It’s definitely not worth all the extra work to potentially get another $250 so I’m not doing it. Gig work is my fallback if I can’t find work before the insurance payments run out in June.
