Gig work is flexible by design, but that flexibility comes without the safety net of an employer. The apps you work through do not provide health coverage, so finding and keeping it is entirely up to you, often while you are also balancing several platforms and an unpredictable schedule.
The challenge gig workers face
Gig workers in Washington frequently piece together income from multiple apps, with earnings that change week to week. Health coverage can feel out of reach or too confusing to bother with. In most cases the hardest part is simply finding clear information meant for people who work this way.
