Have you filed for unemployment ? You should.
I've been contemplating it. I just don't like the idea of a handout. I've worked my entire life and earned my own living, I don't want the government to take care of me if I'm capable of taking care of myself.

Its not a handout. That us what it's for....a temporary bridge until you find employment. There is no shame in taking what you are due. Your previous employer pays for it and you should also sue their arse for your med bills.

It's not a handout. Don't let your pride get in the way of providing for yourself.

You've earned your share of unemployment. Use it. This is exactly what it's for.

Just because you're capable of taking care of yourself doesnt mean you have the immediate ability to do so due to the industry that you work
if you've worked your entire life, then in some way or another you have been paying into the unemployment system through your employer, its time for you to take advantage of it to get you through the tough times

It's not a handout; it's insurance.

We would rather our handouts go to somebody like you than the other kind if you know what I mean. At least you want to work. Good luck.

I've been paying into the system long enough.. If I got laid off I'd be in the unemployment line ASAP without a shred of guit

You've been paying into it all that time. Unemployment isn't a handout and it isn't the government taking care of you; it's you withdrawing your savings that the government has been holding for you.
And if you really don't want to look at it that way try this:
You've been taking care of a lot of people over the years who have run up against it. Now there are people willing to pay it forward back to you.
Either way, it's yours already, not a gift.

Cork, please don't think like this. Yes there are a lot of bums taking advantage of government programs but they are are small minority and have nothing to do with you. Further, unemployment isn't just a handout, it actually is beneficial to both parties. It prevents professionals like you from desperately taking a McDonald's job just to pay the bills every month. It's better for taxpayers for you to be able to afford waiting around a little bit for a more appropriate job with the corresponding taxes than it is for you to get desperate and take the first thing that comes along and you pay nothing.
But it's not even about that. We all (including you) pay too damn much in taxes for someone like you to be scraping bottom because of a hard time. Take the help and make us all feel better, you'd want the same of someone else.

You 100% should if you have always paid into the system and its a short term thing, all you will be doing is recovering YOUR stolen money.
