I work in the film industry as a designer, and I have an S-corp.  My paychecks are made out to my company, which is the 'Loan-out' company.  I'm the sole employee of my company.  I've not been able to pay myself since 2018, and jobs have been cancelled due to coronavirus.  How do I fill out the unemployment insurance (UI) application on the DOL website: do I use my name or my company name?  I know this is the first step for self-employed in order to be eligible to apply for PUA.  Anyone??

 

Thank you!
