Sex work is work but unfortunately during these times discriminates against the oldest Profession.

One thing you can do if you file taxes and most sex workers really should be (I realize some don't/can't) then you can file an unemployment claim using the new disaster relief stimulus to unemployment.

Due to the new stimulus & pandemic disaster relief act put in place *all* unemployment filings for the next (4) months are now boosted by an additional $600 per week. That's a flat rate too. All unemployment filers get the full $600 in addition to the state amount.

This is what caused the Senate to balk on it b/c of that flat weekly pay out. It could be a bigger boon for many unemployed than when they were working! How? Here's how.

Normally unemployment does very little to help people. It typically gives you 40-60% of your weekly pay depending on your state. High paid people get screwed when they go unemployed. In my case I was unemployed once when the weekly benefit max was ~425/wk but that was only 18% of my normal pay (at that time).

It really sucks for highly paid people. Always has. For lower income though TX tried to give you about 50% of your weekly amount. Currently the max weekly in TX is $525/wk. So as long you don't make more than about $1050/wk you will likely end up with 50% of normal. As you go beyond that pay level the % you get drops b/c you are capped at the $525.

Here is the way it works now with the new federal unemployment assistance.

Let's say you make the median in the US (about $49K/yr or $942/wk). You file unemployment with TX and they give you roughly $925/2=$471/wk. However now bc of the new federal $2.2Tr stim package each state is required to add an additional flat $600. So you get the $471+$600=$1071/wk. You now make MORE by not even working!

Ok, let's say you don't make near that though. Let's say you are much lower paid. We will use $25K/yr as an example. That's about $482/wk. You file unemployment and end up getting roughly $241/wk from TX, BUT you also get the $600 (every person gets $600 regardless of income level). So now the total is $241+$600=$841/wk! Wow. This person gets nearly 200% (2x) what they made when they were working.

The lower your regular pay the more pronounced that unemployment differential will be such that you will actually end up making far more than you did while working (in TX that number is ~$49K and less).

SOME CONDITIONS/RULES:

--You have to have been unemployed through no fault of your own.

--You cant just "quit". Even if it's just b/c you're scared of the virus that isn't good enough (with a few exceptions such as taking care of an elderly loved one who is now sick, kids school closed down & you have no one to watch them, etc).

--The $600/wk bonus from the Fed is only from April through July 31st (basically 4 months until August and then you would only get the regular state weekly amount).

NEW FEDERAL RULES ALLOWING NEW TYPES OF UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS DUE TO PANDEMIC:

**All full time workers
**All part-time workers
**All "gig" and freelance workers
**All self employed people. (girls you could qualify and file under this one)

Frankly, I think sucking dick is a highly under-rated skill and I wish more ladies were proficient.

If only I knew how to post a poll here...THEN we could see which of us most folks agree with.

Perhaps you can show how it's done Ben? :)

As you know, CVK, it requires two, so I would be more than happy to partner up with you on that...

Well, somebody is drinking already on a Friday night! LOL :)

Ok, but that's for the EIDL loan, we'll need to see what the application looks like for the second loan program, the PPP (which will be the sba loan to be had through your local bank).

Just curious, but what do you girls claim as your occupation on your fed tax return?

I file as a part time student as well as occupation landscaper with dependants, the only problem the girls are gonna face is proving they work your tax return isnt ample enough evidence they need
Letters with names numbers and addresses signed by their clientel base stating how much they pay how often or hours they work and reason they are letting go of service. ( trust me they call i actually filled out a letter for someone)As well she will have to send in back receipts or bankstatements to prove what she truly makes.. (your deposits must match up or they will deny you say reciept says 21420 your deposit statememt should show the same day they are very very particular on this,its best to say you domt have amd get them to issue you a debit card dont do direct deposit)
Trust me unemployment isnt like irs they audit that ass on the spot and if you dont produce and send in ample info they request and satisfy there standard you will owe back any amount plus 15% and possibly face federal fraud charges.. think carefully ladies get all the ducks in a row before you do this..

Its a million limes of red tape and for this reason I passed.

I totally agree with Lovelyxoxo. For a sex worker to apply for these benefits, you are going to have to do a lot of fibbing.

If you have already been paying taxes & have yourself set up as self-employed, it's not a huge deal since you already have the required background/documents to get the ball rolling, but if you have not paid taxes or have not gotten a DBA or set yourself up as an LLC, I wouldn't run out & do it now and I certainly would not create any fake or modified documents to submit to the IRS.

Even if everything goes your way now, I doubt it will stay that way forever. I have to assume that once life gets back to normal, the IRS & other government entities are going to be double & triple checking people that have applied and will begin "auditing/red flagging" many people that were approved based on lies/fake documents.
