Question: Where can I get financial help if I lost my job?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Check if you can claim a grant through the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme
section_headers: Other help you can get
section_content: Get other financial support
You can make a claim for Universal Credit while you wait for the grant. The grant may
affect the amount of Universal Credit you get, but will not affect claims for
earlier periods.
The government is also providing the following help for the self-employed:

deferral of Self Assessment Income Tax and VAT payments
grants for businesses that pay little or no business rates
Business Interruption Loan Scheme
Bounce Back Loan

If you have other employment as a director or employee paid through PAYE your
employer may be able to get support using the Coronavirus Job Retention
Scheme.
Get help online
You can watch videos and register for free
webinars to learn more about the support available to
help you deal with the economic impacts of coronavirus.
Use HMRC’s digital assistant to find more
information about the coronavirus support schemes.
Contacting HMRC
We are receiving very high numbers of calls. Contacting HMRC unnecessarily
puts our essential public services at risk during these challenging times.
But you can contact HMRC if you cannot get the help you need online.

Although this does answer the question, it also included help for the self employed. The person seeking help may or may not be a self employed person.
This is a good response that tells you how you can claim the universal credit. There's also additional information for those who are self employed and need assistance. Lots of useful links here
