Question: how can I file a claim to receive payments from PAYE from Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Claim for wages through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme
section_headers: After you’ve claimed
section_content: Once you’ve claimed, you’ll get a claim reference number. HMRC will then check
that your claim is correct and pay the claim amount by BACs into your bank
account within 6 working days.
You must:

keep a copy of all records for 6 years, including: 
the amount claimed and claim period for each employee
the claim reference number for your records
your calculations in case HMRC need more information about your claim


tell your employees that you have made a claim and that they do not need to take any more action
pay your employee their wages, if you have not already

You must pay the full amount you are claiming to your employee, even if your
company is in administration. If you’re not able to do that, you’ll need to
repay the money back to HMRC. The same applies in relation to employer NICs
and pension contributions you claim regarding your employee. The full amount
you claim in respect of these must be paid or you will need to repay the money
back to HMRC.
Employers cannot enter into any transaction with the worker which reduces the
wages below this amount. This includes any administration charge, fees or
other costs in connection with the employment. Where an employee had
authorised their employer to make deductions from their salary, these
deductions can continue while the employee is furloughed provided that these
deductions are not administration charges, fees or other costs in connection
with the employment.
When the government ends the scheme
When the government ends the scheme, you must make a decision, depending on
your circumstances, as to whether employees can return to their duties. If
not, it may be necessary to consider termination of employment (redundancy).
Tax Treatment of the Coronavirus Job Retention Grant
Payments received by a business under the scheme are made to offset these
deductible revenue costs. They must therefore be included as income in the
business’s calculation of its taxable profits for Income Tax and Corporation
Tax purposes, in accordance with normal principles.
Businesses can deduct employment costs as normal when calculating taxable
profits for Income Tax and Corporation Tax purposes.
Individuals with employees that are not employed as part of a business (such
as nannies or other domestic staff) are not taxable on grants received under
the scheme. Domestic staff are subject to Income Tax and NICs on their wages
as normal.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer is concerned with what happens once the claim is filed but this could be useful for the requester since this would most likely be the next question they would have after getting their first question answered.
This only offers information about what will happen after you file a claim, rather than how to file one.

section_headers: What you’ll need
section_content: To make a claim, you will need:

to be registered for PAYE online
your UK bank account number and sort code (only provide bank account details where a BACS payment can be accepted)
the billing address on your bank account (this is the address on your bank statements)
your employer PAYE scheme reference number
the number of employees being furloughed
each employee’s National Insurance number (you will need to search for their number if you do not have it or contact HMRC if your employee does not have a number)
each employee’s payroll or employee number (optional)
the start date and end date of the claim
the full amounts that you’re claiming for including: 
employee wages
employer National Insurance contributions
employer minimum pension contributions


your phone number
contact name

You also need to provide either:

your name (or the employer’s name if you’re an agent)
your Corporation Tax unique taxpayer reference
your Self Assessment unique taxpayer reference
your company registration number

Using an agent to do PAYE online
If you use an agent who is authorised to do PAYE online for you, they will be
able to claim on your behalf.
If you would like to use an agent, but do not have one authorised to do PAYE
online for you, you can do that by accessing your HMRC online
services and selecting
‘Manage Account’.
You must be enrolled in PAYE online for employers to do this and will need to
ask your agent for their agent ID. Your agent can get this from their HMRC
online service for agents by selecting ‘authorise client.’
You can also use this service to remove authorisation from your agent if you
do not want it to continue after they have submitted your claim(s).
If an agent makes a claim on your behalf you will need to tell them which bank
account you would like the grant to be paid into. You must only provide bank
details where a BACS payment can be accepted.
If you’re putting 100 or more employees on furlough
If you’re claiming for 100 or more furloughed employees, you’ll need to upload
a file containing the following for each employee:

full name
National Insurance number
payroll number (optional)
furlough start date
furlough end date (if known)
full amount claimed

You’ll need ensure that you:

provide only the employee information requested here - if you provide more or less information than required, you may risk delaying your payment and/or be asked to provide the information again
submit one line per employee for the whole period
do not break up the calculation into multiple periods within the claim
do not split data by contract type
upload your file as an .xls, .xlsx, .csv or .ods

Answer is for when claim itself is in process and not finished which may come in handy once requester starts the process but this does not help them initialize the process.
This is a basic overview of what you need and how to file a claim.
