Yeah I've been there. Only been on unemployment once though, and I'm never doing that again.
An advisor told me to go ahead and apply when I was looking for a job after leaving the service.
I ended up having to pay most of that money back in income tax because I had too much money
in the bank or some dumbass reason.
I went to the unemployment office last time just to see what information they had on local employers
..bitch calls me a week later asking if I had a job and tells me about a few places I had already applied
to at that point. That place is a joke.
