COVID-19 Resources for Artists & Theaters

Below is a state by state listing of available assistance for artists in the theater community around the country. This website is not responsible for any errors or omissions in the content on any Covid-19 related pages. These resources are provided free of charge and are for information only. These programs are for employees of theaters or freelancers (private contractors or 1099’s)

Some programs which are listed first are nationally available (scroll down for state by state listing):

Google Play Store Logo -You can also download our Android app for COVID information and updates on the go- (search for “Fourth Wall Jobs”)

Facebook Logo “like” our Facebook page for state by state updates on changes to unemployment insurance and new PPP funding for Freelancers.

• Unemployment – UPDATED 5/15/20 – – There is still PPP money remaining for freelancers.

• Unemployment – UPDATED 4/23/20 – – Congress has come to an agreement for another round of PPP funding. In the next 48 they intend to vote and fund the new round of PPP.

Yes, you as a freelance theater artist, or tech or admin, etc CAN get unemployment EVEN IF you are not an employee of a theater. This includes, freelance and over-hire workers.

In the C.A.R.E.S. Act, passed by congress in late March, they authorized a federal program available in EVERY state that will provide $600 per week for up to 13 weeks to ANY and ALL freelancers, 1099 private contractors AND/OR employees regardless of where they work (worked), provided they have applicable earnings via 1099 or W2 in the eligibility period. This amount is IN ADDITION to any state unemployment money that you might be eligible for. If you work at a theater as a W2 employee, then you are eligible for both the $600 and what the state offers.

If you just work gigs under as a freelancer under a 1099, then you get the $600 (see above for conditions). As of April 16th, 29 states are distributing the additional $600 with more coming online in the coming weeks. They WILL give you the $600 retroactive to March 29th.

The catch about being a freelance 1099 contractor and being eligible only for the $600 is that you might have to wait a few weeks to file for this benefit if your state is not yet participating.

As April 23rd, 8 states or more have their systems updated to allow private contractors to file. Those states are New Jersey, Massachusetts, New York, Michigan , Pennsylvania, Texas, Rhode Island and Louisiana. Indiana and North Carolina will start accepting PUA applications on Friday April 24th. All other states will join allowing you to file in the coming weeks.
