Last week of benefits, options? after 9 years as a barista

The claim window is closing and I am worried about bills. I am in Knoxville, in case local advice matters. I am willing to take a temporary job. What did you do after benefits ran out?

Call 211 to hear about emergency help with rent or utilities in your area. The list was longer than I expected.

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.
