I had one job where I got furloughed and I could have gotten it if things had gone on. I think there was a 2 week waiting period before you could actually start collecting. That was awhile ago but a couple other things you said are things I dealt with more recently. Missed a lot of work due to illness. First used up whatever accrued leave I had then started living in my credit cards and finally raided my 401k. I think we’ll be seeing a lot of that in the coming months.
