My apologies for delaying the last post, but I just found out that my husband got laid off from the job that pays all the bills and provides us with health coverage. While aware of the possibility it might happen, nothing quite describes the feeling when it actually does. So my next few blogs will probably be about how to cope with the financial and emotional aspects of unemployment.
So the first thing to do is investigate your Unemployment Insurance Benefits. In Illinois the website is http://www.ides.state.il.us/ . There you will enjoy trying to decipher the instructions on how to apply and get the benefits you have been paying for all these years. The trick is to be persistant and to do it immediately. They need time to process it and you will need these benefits to get you through the next step...job hunting. Chin up you have more support than you think!
