Unemployment ran out before I found work - 24 weeks in

The claim window is closing and I am worried about bills. Any experience at all would help. 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.

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.
