[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Child support from your ex still isn't enough to make ends meet until your severance runs out and/or unemployment kicks in and/or find another job?

You might have to re-frame your lifestyle, discretionary spending, and overall expenses, but youre certainly not at the threshold of "poor" to trigger free food from FCPS.[/quote]

Its unlikely the cs has been modified if they just lost their job a month ago.  [/quote]

So maybe Op should consider adjusting the child support sooner rather than later.[/quote]

Or, she can get a job, any job. [/quote]

You are an imbecile. Like she prefer to be unemployed?[/quote]

Obviously she prefers to be unemployed. Tons of jobs out there. You can do landscaping work or flip burgers. No shame in doing what you have to do to survive.[/quote]

A person on unemployment is doing themself a disservice by doing minimum wage jobs such as these. The income one would make flipping burgers/doing landscaping work is going to take away from the amount of unemployment they can receive. A minimum wage job will pay approx as much as unemployment ($375/wk ish) yet will require the person on unemployment to spend their time working said min wage job vs looking for a better paying job. Why would someone willingly do that before unemployment runs out?

Unemployment insurance is not a public benefit, it is paid into by your (former) employer. If they qualify for unemployment, why should someone forgo it to flip burgers instead?[/quote]
