Unemployment ran out before I found work after 18 years as a home health aide

My unemployment benefits end in 23 weeks and I have not found work as a home health aide. It has been a long 23 weeks. I have savings for about a month. What did you do after benefits ran out?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
