The TaskRabbit platform is designed to help people get things done. They provide a flexible way to earn money by doing tasks and projects. Unfortunately, there are times when they must deactivate accounts for violating the Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy. This article will explain why they may have deactivated your account and what steps you can take to get back on the platform as quickly as possible.
If you do happen to get deactivated from TaskRabbit or any other major gig app like Uber, Lyft, Instacart, etc., Driverly can help. When you sign up to become a Driverly Premium Member, you gain exclusive access to their Reactivation Services. Driverly helps gig workers earn more income, help prep for tax season, and help gig workers who have been wrongfully deactivated try to get their accounts back. While this isn't 100% guaranteed, it has worked for many gig workers so far. Sign up now so you can try to get back on the road and start earning again!
Why Taskers Get Deactivated
Taskers can be deactivated for any of the following reasons:
Inactivity. If a tasker has yet to receive many jobs in a given period, They may need to remove them from the system and re-activate them once they've had more opportunities to earn money on the platform.
Poor performance. This could include consistently late delivery times, failing to complete tasks, or having negative reviews from clients in the past 30 days (more on this later). They want their clients and taskers to have a positive experience with each other, so if your performance negatively impacts that experience, they'll deactivate you until you demonstrate improved performance through consistent activity in each category mentioned above.
Violating TaskRabbit policies. TaskRabbit cannot operate effectively if everyone who uses the services acts unprofessionally towards one another or violates the Community Guidelines by spamming or harassing other members online. Hence, they reserve the right to permanently remove users who don't follow these guidelines from the platform!

How To Get Reactivated to TaskRabbit
If you get deactivated from TaskRabbit, you can always contact the support team to have your account reactivated. The sooner you do this, the better, as it will save time for both parties.
All that’s required is a short form to fill out and then a phone call with one of our agents, who will help resolve any issues or concerns related to your reactivation request, such as making sure there isn't another reason why you were deactivated, such as not completing tasks. If all goes smoothly, they’ll send over an email confirming that they've reactivated your account, and you should be good to go!
You can also use Driverly. If you sign up for a Driverly Premium Membership, you can get access to their Reactivation Services.

What happens if you forfeit a task on TaskRabbit?
If you forfeit a task on TaskRabbit, your rating will be negatively impacted. This is because it looks bad to the client and other taskers when you don’t complete a job.
So instead of forfeiting, get the client to cancel the job so that it doesn't count against your overall rating. Then make sure that they know you're available for new jobs immediately!
Is working for TaskRabbit worth it?
TaskRabbit is a great way to make some extra cash. No, it's not a full-time job, but it can be part-time. You can work when you want and set your hours, so this is the perfect gig if you have other commitments outside of tasks.
You're also only getting paid while working on a task, usually between $15-$ 20 per hour, depending on which tasker you are.
The good thing about this is that you can work as many hours as you want, meaning the more time you put into it, the more money you'll make. It's also a great way to make some extra cash for those looking for part-time work.

How long does it take to get approved for TaskRabbit?
The verification process usually takes up to five minutes but can take longer if you complete the identity check from a location outside the United States.
You'll be notified when you are approved, and if any further information is needed, they'll reach out via email or text message.
You may also be asked to provide a Social Security number and proof of address by uploading an image of your driver's license or passport or an updated W-9 form that shows your current address.
What percentage does TaskRabbit take?
You can make money through TaskRabbit and keep 100% of your earnings. TaskRabbit doesn't take a portion of what you earn through the platform so you can keep the full amount of your earnings.
This is a great way to make some extra cash. No, it's not a full-time job, but it can be part-time. You can work when you want and set your hours, so this is the perfect gig if you have other commitments outside of tasks. You're also only getting paid while you're working on a task, and that's usually between $15-20 per hour.
Why does TaskRabbit need SSN?
When you sign up for TaskRabbit, you must submit your SSN. Why does TaskRabbit need it? Well, there are several reasons:
Verifying your identity means that they can ensure that the person applying for a task is actually who they say they are. This is important because if someone else were to sign up with your email address and pretend to be you, they could take on tasks in your name and possibly ruin your reputation as a tasker. By verifying identities through SSN verification and other driving license or passports methods, they can free the community from scammers!
To ensure you're eligible to work in the US because all of the tasks are based in America, they need proof that anyone applying must be legally allowed within this country and over 18 years old.
What happens if a TaskRabbit gets injured?
If you are injured while performing a task, the Happiness Pledge may be available to assist with property damage, theft, or bodily injury incurred during a task. The Happiness Pledge will only compensate for losses to the extent not otherwise covered by Personal Insurance that you have purchased on your own or through an employer.
Conclusion
It can be a tedious process if you're looking to reactivate. The most important thing is to be patient and persistent. Your previous job history and positive reviews are the best way to prove that you were a great fit for TaskRabbit before your account was deactivated. If none of those things apply or you want some advice on maximizing your chances of reinstating, reach out and talk to customer support!
