i understand that you can not be on unemployment and PPP. is that at the same time or can i be on one and then the other? assuming you can only be on one - which would be better?
They seem to be mutually exclusive because UI/PUA you have to get less than $504 income to be eligible (thats for NY, other states probably have similar provisions that you can’t be employed/have income), and PPP requires you to pay yourself to get forgiveness.
I’ll go with what others have said, UI/PUA before PPP, 8 weeks of PPP, then back to UI/PUA.
Which is better would depend on how much you’d get from each, so might vary from person to person.
