Millions of out of work rideshare drivers in the U.S. are struggling to collect unemployment benefits during this pandemic. 

When Congress passed a two trillion dollar stimulus bill last month, it expressly cleared so-called "gig workers" to collect jobless pay. 

But in practice, it's proving more difficult because of strict eligibility guidelines... Especially in California, where a new law already demands these workers be counted as regular employees.
