I think I'm okay here.
I just got a call from a man named Aaron at the New York State Department of Labor. I told him that I don't advertise as a freelance copyeditor/proofreader [1], and that I'm doing a bit of that work for a former employer. He asked what day I generally work, and I explained that it's not a specific day, John contacts me and says something like "are you available Tuesday?" and that in fact I'd worked for them yesterday. I gave him ACM's address, and John Stanik's name and phone number. He asked how I was paid, and I explained it was via a 1099. He advised me that any day I work I have to "certify"--that is, when I say "please give me benefits for week X," I have to count that as a day worked. At the end, he said I should be okay.
[1] It may be that I should, and even that at some point I will again, but right now I'm not.
