    For unemployment in Nevada it is absolutely yes. Provided he was paying tax on it while self-employed, or his employer was paying it while he was an employee. It's an insurance program, so only people who were paying the premiums are eligible to collect.

    The food stamps is based around income, assets, and dependents. So some professional gambler may be eligible even when they are working, and many people are not eligible even when they lose their job.

    Of course that is all from before the state of emergency. Lots of this stuff is changing with all the stuff that's been going on.

    They can in NV. Unfortunately for fishdick he doesn’t qualify if you read his resume below.

    Coupon collecting, dumpster diving, scouring floors for dropped slot tickets, drink vouchers and winning race tickets doesn’t make one a professional gambler. It makes you a candidate for every casino’s trespass list.

    Is there a case where this has happened?

    It was my undrestanding that we couldn't file for unemployment until a recent change where it's possible to fall under an independant contractor capacity.

    I think it's going to be case by case if at all. I can't imagine the old lady that hits a huge jackpot and then files as a gambler the next few years will get unemployment.

    I've been looking into this, but all I've uncovered is that you can try, but I haven't heard of anyone succeeding here.

    I applied for unemployment and was denied; I might appeal but they want some serious documentation of your income.

    I think this the exception they made. In the past, this was not possible.

    I can't see an instance if you were getting unemployment, they would deem that too high an income to receive food stamps..
    Have to believe if you get the one, you get the other..
    I dunno...

    I'm dreading a shutdown that's looming. I was making good money April thru August, but work means more for my mental health. Money means nothing, happiness is where it's at.

    Sex is happy place. How much you stressing over a job, finances, virus, kids or health while distracted by hot sex. That's called happy place. Find that place as much as you can doing whatever. Playing music also gets me to that happy place as does chinese take out...enjoy the day. Looking at a healthy bank account doesn't get me to happy.
