Last week of benefits, options? - 4 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. What did you do after benefits ran out?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

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