That could help definitely, but would only cover my rent, and I am discouraged by what I've heard about it, i.e. taking weeks/months to be approved.

- jdan222 6y agoI am in the same boat. My runway is gone, and now I have to choose between rent or debt. I am choosing rent. Still, apply for unemployment. Do it if you’re not even eligible for it yet. Then when you are eligible it'll be a breeze. Use it to supplement your life while you continue your search. Sorry you’re in this boat with us. Good luck fren!
- inferred_type 6y agoAh, that's a great idea, thank you! And good luck to you, too!
- thorin 6y agoIf you aren't working I'd apply for anything going. Try and create a few projects however trivial, apply for jobs widely and spend some time with your family. Good luck!
- runT1ME 6y agoFile ASAP. Even if by the time it goes through you get a job, they'll still pay you for the time you were unemployed. Presumably you already paid into unemployment, get some of that money back now that you need it. Even if it comes weeks from now and you're happily employed, use it to rebuild savings or pay off credit card debt etc.
