| A layoff from a show should qualify. They would have to actively looking for a new job but there probably isn’t much available now for actors. “Did you bullshit last week, did you bullshit this week, did you try to bullshit this week”. History of the world when Mel brooks sought unemployment in Roman times for stand up comic and bea Arthur said those great lines. |

| A layoff from a show would qualify...but they must have 6 months of work previous to the layoff. No shows qualify for that. | |

| I didn’t realize there was that requirement. Most actors rarely qualify unless it’s a hit show that runs a year. | |

| It looks like they reduced it to one quarter (3 months) for 2021. Many shows still won't qualify. | |
