I only listed entertainment on my application and nowhere did it include actual names of clubs. The application included a drop down menu that asked for a reason for filing, and I selected that my places of business (self-employment) were closed due to the quarantine. What reason did you select or give?
The letter I received is in regards to that eligibility reason I selected since everything is reopen or will be shortly in this state. I do have the information saved somewhere that states if your eligibility criteria changes you do not have to reapply for assistance, but your new eligibility must be noted. I am still eligible for my benefits as this was a pretty generalized letter to lots of folks.
There’s info on the US Department of Labor website regarding re-opening guidelines program integrity for the self-employed. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like being vague will replace meeting a current criteria outlined in section 2102(a)(3)(A)(ii)(I) of the CARES Act ( I listed these above for reference). But maybe it will, it probably depends on a lot of factors, mostly the reason you selected on your initial application I would guess. Always best to be as vague as possible in general anyway.
