How do you handle bills on unemployment? after 7 years as a janitorial supervisor

My income is now a fraction of what it was as a janitorial supervisor and I am trying to cover the essentials. I am in Tucson, in case local advice matters. I am nervous about falling behind. What helped you?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 5 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
