Last week of benefits, options? - 24 weeks in

The claim window is closing and I am worried about bills. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I wonder about extended programmes or help from local agencies. Where did you get help with bills?

I took a temp job while I kept looking. It covered rent, and the agency sent me to a permanent job within a couple of months.

Ask your state agency about any extended programmes. Mine did not advertise them, but they existed.
