This page provides an overview of the benefits and protections available to you as a driver or delivery person in California under Proposition 22.
Please Note: These benefits are only applicable for trips and deliveries that begin in the state of California.
For more detailed information, please see the in-depth articles linked below.
Q: What is the Proposition 22 Earnings Guarantee?
A: You are guaranteed to earn at least 120% of the applicable minimum wage for your active time, plus $0.36 per mile compensation for expenses if you use a vehicle. If your earnings at the end of a two-week period are less than this guaranteed amount, you will receive a “top-up” payment for the difference. For a full breakdown, see our California Earnings Guarantee page.
Q: What is “active time”?
A: Active time (also called on-trip time) is the time from when you accept a ride or delivery request until you complete it. Time spent online waiting for a request does not count as active time.
Q: How do I qualify for the Healthcare Stipend?
A: To receive a quarterly healthcare stipend, you must average at least 15 active hours per week during that quarter and be enrolled in a qualifying health insurance plan. You must submit proof of enrollment each quarter to receive the stipend payment. Learn more on the California Healthcare Stipend page.
Q: What is Injury Protection?
A: Injury Protection is an insurance policy provided by Uber that covers you for injuries suffered while you are online. It includes coverage for medical expenses, disability payments if you’re unable to work, and survivor benefits. You can learn more on our Injury Protection & Other Prop 22 Benefits page.
Q: When are the earnings guarantee payments made?
A: The earnings guarantee is calculated over a two-week period. If you are eligible for a top-up payment, it will appear on your earnings statement on the Thursday following the end of that two-week period.
Q: Are these benefits taxable?
A: Top-up payments from the earnings guarantee, healthcare stipends, and the value of insurance premiums may be reported as taxable income. We recommend consulting with a tax professional for specific advice.
