What should I do if my unemployment benefits are exhausted?

If a person's unemployment benefits are exhausted, there are several options they may consider. First, it is important to assess whether they may be eligible for any additional benefits or programs. In Michigan, individuals may want to explore programs such as federal extensions or pandemic-related assistance if available. Additionally, individuals can look into upgrading their skills or obtaining new certifications through training programs, which might enhance their employability. The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity often provides resources for job seekers, including job fairs, workshops, and listings of available positions. Networking can also be a valuable tool. Friends, family, and former colleagues may have job leads or advice. Finally, reviewing one's financial situation is essential. This may include considering temporary employment or alternative sources of income.
