Last week of benefits, options? after 8 years as a nurse's aide

I exhausted my benefits and have 8 interviews lined up. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I am willing to take a temporary job. What did you do after benefits ran out?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 10 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
