I was never a fan of unemployment until I got laid off myself. For the couple weeks I was on it it was a lifesaver. Good luck in finding a new job, hopefully the extension will give you some more time to throw in some applications. The worste part was quitting pot for a couple weeks (I dont mess around when it comes to drug tests, its not worth the risk to me). Then I ended up getting a job somewhere that dosent even test, got lucky! So whats your weekly benefit rate if you dont mind me asking? Is it the same as your regular unemployment was?
