Is it better to claim unemployment or the tax credit for missing work due to school closing if you are a contractor (1099)?

I don't think anyone is sure how the credit will work yet, the bill just got passed and the IRS will need to develop forms, instructions, etc. You could certainly make an educated guess based on the bill itself.
As for unemployment, there should be pretty good eligibility documentation on your state's unemployment office website. I would recommend avoiding calling the office to ask if you can, they're going to be completely swamped.
