I think that's the point I was making.
EDIT: I have now read where the act extends UI benefits to some who would otherwise be ineligible including self-employed and ICs. Don't know exactly how it works (and my guess is that not many do; it's too early).
I did read that (some?) ICs might be eligible for the "small business loan guarantee / forgiveness program" (I forget the exact name) -- but I'm not sure how that would work for us.
