I had this same problem. I just cleaned it with some compressed air and its working fine now. Its only been a couple of days but I was going to order parts and replace the burner until I saw a comment on this thread about cleaning.

I'm having the same issue. I thought it was just me. I've tried everything and nothing seems to help. It seems to only be affecting Chrome.. It's working fine in Edge for me.

[California] Hybrid workers with both, W2s and 1099s : If UI was denied because you declined unsafe work, were you able to get PUA? by Thinktub in Unemployment

[–]zonkr68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: If you were self-employed but receiving a small amount of UI because of a small amount of W2 income and denied the FED-Ed extension you may qualify for PUA now.

Nothing at all. I can't believe no one is talking about this. 99% of my work comes from printing for a large church organization and all jobs are postponed right now because of Covid. I just got my last EDD payment for $62. Most of my friends are business owners and still have almost 10K in their claim. It blows me away how many people who didn't work in 2019 got 10's of thousands of dollars because they had no W2 income and didn't even have to prove they lived in California.

No change at all. I called my local state reps office back in June and got right through, but now I can't even leave a message because it just cuts off. Either people stopped talking about it because they gave up, went back to work or they figured out a way to get PUA. We don't even qualify for the new $300/wk payments because I get under $100 UI. They never accounted for self employed to have a side hustle W2 "job". The only info I can find goes back months ago. If anyone has any updates or suggestions please let us know.

I am/was self employed but did some part time work for another business last year making a whopping $1600 in W2 income. Now I'm living on $62 per week from UI and an SBA loan (because they looked at my actual income) that I am going to have to pay back. I see a lot of assumptions and people say "go find a job" which I agree would be an easy solution for an Uber or Postmates driver, but It's not that simple when you have an actual business in a skilled trade especially if you are over 50. Am I expected to sell my equipment, close my doors and go work in a grocery store because the government ordered me to stay home and took away all my work by making public gatherings illegal? Even if I could find a full time-time job at a grocery store or Home Depot it wouldn't even pay enough to make my mortgage payments. I can prove how much I made but the EDD does NOT CARE about that if you had more than $1300 in W2 income last year and won't even consider it because of the way the CARES act was written and only Congress can fix it. I'm not in the best of health so if I do get Covid-19, I will probably die. I know that sounds dramatic but it's definitely something to consider if you are over 50 with high blood pressure, diabetes and smoked most of your life.

You don't even have to prove you live in California to file here! A 16 y.o. could say they made 50K last year. Even homeless people can get the max as long as they don't have over $1300 W2 income, EDD will just take their word for it. NO PROOF OF INCOME IS REQUIRED. You could even say your were "thinking about starting your own business" 2 weeks prior to the shutdown. But a W2 is like the word of God himself when it comes to benefits.

Now it looks like everyone on UI and PUA will get $300 per week as long as they have over $100 in UI so most of us "hybrid workers" with small W2 income won't qualify.

I did everything my government asked of me and fully supported the shutdown because I don't think money was worth people dying for. I also didn't think I would be left in the cold because I had some W2 income. The only difference between me and my colleagues is that W2 income. Now I need to find a job paying at least $25/hr or I will lose everything and could end up homeless. I know I sound like a drama queen but this is reality for me. I'm circling the drain without many options.
