Last week of benefits, options? - 9 months and counting

I exhausted my benefits and have 10 interviews lined up. It has been weighing on me all week. I wonder about extended programmes or help from local agencies. Did you find short-term work?

Food pantries and community kitchens helped us stretch the budget. No shame in using them.

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