It is important to affirm that self-employed companies such as LLC and S Corps cannot receive unemployment benefits. As usual in every state, the requirements are that your unemployment reasons are no fault of your own, actively seek a job, be able and available to work, and finally meet a monetary limit. But an S Corp owner could not get these benefits since they cannot achieve that last requirement. In other words, as the owner you do not receive a salary, so fulfilling the base period requirement was an inconvenience. However there is a way to solve this, and that is to pay yourself in W-2 wages. Treat yourself as an employee of your S Corp and receive a paycheck where it includes your federal and state taxes. With this in consideration, the only thing left to do is to look for a job every week.
