Advice for employees using umbrella companies?

Hello,
I'm on a contract due to end in August. It's an IR35 position and I am paid (officially 'employed') through an umbrella company. The umbrella company is saying that if their client, the company I do the work for, no longer needs me due to the slow down of business over the next few months, I am not covered by the Job Retention Scheme, nor any other insurances through the umbrella company itself. Struggling to find any information online about umbrella company employees. Have tweeted Martin asking if he can cover this in the next weekly email, but wondering if anyone in the same situation has any insight in the meantime? Note: I personally can't claim unemployment benefits as I'm on a spouse visa with no access to public funds.
Thanks in advance!
