I was fired recently from a hospital I worked at for ~7 years. [Context: a ‘friend’ accessed my remote equipment while staying at my apartment due to marital problems. She accessed the medical record of the woman her husband cheated with to see if she was being provided accurate information about the STD transmitted to her due to the cheating. According to my old employer I had no way to verify the access was not from me so I was terminated with no warning.]
A few weeks before my termination I had a GREAT interview with the VA & was told by a friend who is my connection for the position that I definitely have the job, we are just waiting for HR. I was fired 2/7 and the waiting game in between jobs is unbearable. The stress about bills and affording groceries and affording to just live has me spiraling. My boyfriend works but he doesn’t bring in enough to do it all on his own. I am completely out of savings, very low on groceries and have bills coming up that we can’t afford on his pay alone.
Yes, I did try applying for unemployment but for some reason the site tells me my info (my name, my social, my DOB) is wrong. I’ve tried to call them twice but I haven’t gotten through. I thought I’d give a call tomorrow but remembered it’s a holiday so they will likely be closed. I have a few ideas to make a bit of money
-Hopefully get unemployment sorted
-Waiting for my vacation payout unsure when I will receive this.
-A friend of mine does a clothing consignment group on Facebook. I figured I’d sell anything but the bare minimum.
Unfortunately any COVID emergency rental benefits etc have run out in my state. I feel like I’m drowning.
