Across the world, more people are losing jobs daily. Some are losing their jobs temporarily, as in a furlough, retaining at least some of their benefits. Others are losing jobs permanently, as in a layoff, with the possibility of being rehired but with no benefits during the unemployment period. There’s a lot of uncertainty in the economy right now and many people are unsure how they will be able to weather an indeterminate period of unemployment. But there are resources out there that can help.
For starters, unemployment benefits have opened up to include benefits for people not traditionally able to receive them - people like substitute teachers, part-time workers, and freelancers. In addition to this, the Federal government is chipping in an additional $600 a month to help people get by. The period people can claim unemployment has also been extended.
Unemployment is temporary and it’s not the end of the world. Learn how to survive a layoff or furlough below.
