In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Model Alliance has created a tailored guide for models who are seeking information about how to file an unemployment insurance claim. We have included information relevant to New York, California and Florida, as these are the states where most models in our community are based.

For models who are filing for unemployment insurance benefits in New York, we have created a step-by-step guide, "A Guide for Filing for Unemployment Insurance Benefits In New York: How to Avoid Misclassification as an Independent Contractor." New York law considers models to be employees for purposes of unemployment insurance, so take advantage of that classification!

The Model Alliance will do our best to update and add to this page as new information becomes available.
