Any decisions made regarding the extension of unemployment benefits need to come from Congress, so contact your local legislators. In addition, stay in contact with your local unemployment office for updated information and opportunities for local programs (e.g., job training). You might also contact local government agencies to see if you qualify for public benefits such as food stamps.
