Bob, you may want to confirm with the EDD in your state on how many weeks you have on the clock. IIRC, you have a maximum of 99 weeks of unemployment insurance which is paid by the Federal government, then the states have to either foot the tab or cut you loose.
I'm trying to recall that quote by Samuel Johnson where your mind sharpens on the way to the gallows and this situation definitely is that. It may come down to taking any job that comes along rather than the job you want. Because it beats working at McDonalds or WalMart. Just remember you're in the same boat as a lot of people (including yours truly) and better off than a lot of folks also. Those who have already at 99 weeks and were praying for an extension are going to be bitten hard by this.
On that note a letter arrived from VA Milwaukee stating the position I applied for has been canceled or no selection has been made - rats. Well, I kinda figured that already so on to mid-July.
