What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? ca

I found this rule in the ca unemployment website "Self-employed persons who receive their "wages" in the form of commissions, report their net earnings just as for any other type of earnings."
Total and Partial Unemployment TPU 460.2 - Commission

Does this mean that if I work as an independant contractor I can reduce the amount I report to unemployment by the amount i have to spend each week to do the independant contractor job?

For example: I file for unemployment and get 200 dollars a week in benifits, then I get a part time job as an independant contractor which pays 100 dollars a week. The independant contractor job costs me 50 dollars a week in expenses. When I report what I earned in a week on my unemployment form should I report 100 in income ir $50 after expences?
