    Feeling Miscellaneous Thinking

    I recently got laid off and am currently on unemployment. I've been a digital creator on Facebook for several years, and I've been earning about $800 a month from it. Initially, I spent 1-2 hours a week on it, but now it's fully automated with AI, so I don't spend any time on it at all. I'm wondering if this income will affect my unemployment benefits. I’ve heard mixed opinions on whether I need to report this income when I do my weekly certifications. Some say I should report the gross amount earned, while others suggest it might be treated like passive income, similar to rental properties or stocks. I’m really confused about the implications for my unemployment benefits and taxes.

    Feeling Miscellaneous Planning Thinking

    I recently changed my Facebook profile to a digital creator while I'm currently on unemployment in Oklahoma. I didn't expect much from it, but surprisingly, I've already made over $100 since the change. The payout is scheduled for September 23, and I'm wondering if this will affect my unemployment benefits. I know my unemployment is set to end in October if I don't secure a job by then. Should I report this income? It feels more like a side gig than a job, but I'm concerned about the implications for my benefits. I've heard that I need to report it when I get paid, and since it's self-employment, it might only slightly impact my weekly amount. I want to make sure I'm following the rules and not risking my unemployment status.

    Feeling Miscellaneous

    I've been on workers' compensation for nearly two years now, and I'm feeling really frustrated with the process. I've submitted all the required documentation three times, but every time I do, they come back asking for one more thing. It feels like a never-ending cycle. I've provided everything related to my workers' comp and all the temporary total disability payments I've received. Despite my efforts, they keep saying they need additional verification or documents from another source. My claim has been on hold since the first week of June, and I'm at a loss for what to do next. Is there any advice on how to expedite this process?
