I came here to say that, you got here first.
Absolutely excellent advice. I’ve run into that issue so many times on the web, especially around government run websites.

Don’t forget about the CARES act expansion to benefit artists, gig workers, and other self-employed.
I applied for California’s Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program, and I’m recieving $167 weekly, with the weekly $600 extension from the federal government until July 25th. Sure, I’ll owe some taxes on it next year, but it’s a very helpful lifeline in these uncertain times.
ETA: In order to not be surprised at tax time next year, I took advantage of the automatic garnishing feature the unemployment office offers on their website.
