Here is the story with unemployment, it is based ( varies by State) off of your last quarter or 2 quarters paychecks. Also, you only get it for a certain amount of weeks. When it is over it is over, so this being said if you are using it now, you are using up what money will be available to you when CPI closes. It will not start over. Your best bet honestly, if you NEED the paycheck, is to find a new job. You will end up getting less and less as time goes by. Trust me, I am an out of work DM and this happened to me. GET OUT !! Waiting to get unemployment to sit home and do nothing is not going to last for you. Close this door and move on to a new job. I am not sure why any of you stay. CPI would crush you and not look back. Good luck.
