re: Is there federal aid for loss of income?

I had a daughter joke but you seem to be hit pretty hard about this. Can you get groceries or anything from a church to try and save money. If you have a mortgage try contacting mortgage company and tell them you were hit by the hurricane and if they could delay your next payment for a month or two. They are pretty good about helping out. The power company may have something as well. As others have stated try the unemployment route. Good Luck.
