2.5.1 Statutory Reference: 8-73-107, C.R.S.
2.5.2 Effect of Self-Employment Activities. A claimant may be disqualified from receipt of benefits due to self-employment activities where such activities result in the claimant restricting his or her availability for work or limiting his or her search for work.
2.5.3 Self-Employment Activities. For the purposes of this section, "self-employment activities" shall include all activities of a claimant that relate to the formulation, development, or operation of any business or income-producing undertaking.
2.5.4 Matters to be Considered. In determining whether or not a claimant's availability for suitable work is restricted or a claimant's search for work is limited by means of his or her self-employment activities, the division may consider, in addition to other relevant factors, the following:
.1 The nature of the claimant's self-employment activities;
.2 The nature of the claimant's previous employment;
.3 The amount of time required for the claimant's self-employment activities;
.4 Whether the claimant's self-employment activities occur at the normal time the claimant would be employed or seeking employment;
.5 Whether the nature of the claimant's self-employment activities require regular hours of work;
.6 Whether the nature of the claimant's previous employment required regular hours of work;
.7 The extent to which the claimant's self-employment activities coexisted with the claimant's previous employment;
.8 The extent of the claimant's financial commitment to the self-employment activities;
.9 Whether the claimant has rented or purchased space to be used for self-employment activities;
.10 Whether the claimant has arranged for or obtained a business telephone;
.11 Whether the claimant has obtained any required licenses or permits;
.12 Whether the claimant has advertised for customers;
.13 The extent to which the claimant's self-employment activities required him or her to supervise or direct other individuals.
2.5.5 All Requirements Must be Met. Notwithstanding any provision of this section, a self-employed claimant, in order to qualify for benefits, must satisfy all of the eligibility conditions enumerated in 8-73-107, C.R.S.
2.5.6 Reporting Earnings. A self-employed claimant must report all monies earned during the week(s) for which benefits are claimed regardless of whether or not such earnings have been received. Where earnings have not been received, the claimant must provide an estimate of monies earned and, thereafter, must report actual earnings, when received, if the estimate was incorrect.
