| With the shutdown looking like it might last a lot longer, I’m considering filing for DC unemployment assistance. Wondering if anyone has done this yet for the current shutdown. How did you find the process and did it cover enough of your paycheck to be worth it? I’m aware that you have to pay back the assistance once you get retroactive pay. |

| It’s painful to file. Still awaiting adjudication. Beginning to wonder whether we’ll be back at work before the first payment comes in. |
