Yes. Independent contractors who aren't able to work due to the coronavirus shutdowns should be able to apply for unemployment benefits under the CARES Act. This is true even if you haven't been formally fired, laid off, or furloughed. What's more, independent contractors on 1099's should also be able to apply for SBA loans and grants. You can learn all about the stimulus act here: What’s in the $2 Trillion Coronavirus Stimulus Bill For Construction Businesses & Their Workers? Further, you can see others' stimulus-related questions and answers here: Stimulus Legal Questions.
