One of my pet peeve is that the Federal Poverty Level isn't reflective of what is truly necessary for cost of living. A lot (all, most) of these programs are income dependent on FPL (Federal Poverty Level) which for a family of 2 in the 48 states is $14,570, Hawaii ($16,760), Alaska ($18,210). If you live in a high cost of living state like I do in CA, that is about half of what I need to cover basic expenses per year. Your previous salary for instance, $80,000 is what the median income is needed in my region. To CD,

With summer weather, there's no excuse not to go for a walk, jog or major workout, before you start "Smiling and Dialing, "during the lunch break (12-2) when no one answers the phone, and after 4 or 5 pm. Some gyms have special rates/hours to support the unemployed. Volunteer. You can use your skills and network with the staff and other volunteers. I got a consulting project through a contact.

I worked for a company for 5 years and was let go last May. Iam a single mother and did very well income wise in sales. I have applied for all the things you mentioned but seem to fall through the cracks. I had a eighty thousand dollar salary and now my unemployment checks run $290.00 a week and I get $400.00 a month for child support. I was denied food stamps and medicade because I make too much money with unemployment and childsupport. The only help I got that wasn't through family and friends was the Salvation Army helped pay half of my electric bill and since I got that I am not able to recieve any more finicial help through any community program. Iam now homeless and my daughter and I are living with a friend that just told me that her husband is not happy with the arrangment. What Iam suppose to do? I look at the money I made the past 5 years that paid for food stamps and medical care for people who were labled poverty. Yet somehow I am not able to recieve these benefits that I helped pay for. What makes me soo mad is my daughter is effected by this and does not understand why we can not go home! Thanks for the tips for help if you are unemployed.
