Correct sir;

That's why the cut off date of the 30th July is so important.

Any player (and there's 1400 of them in L1 and L2) who's contract expires June 30th 2020 gets another months "severance pay" IF they've not found another club. The EFL are fairly sure as a "one off" that the PFA will ask their members to play in July IF needed.
IF season recommences June 6th; I'm thinking regular season would end July 4th; so only teams involved in-play offs would be playing deep into July. To protect the integrity of the competition only current players can play in this season's games
