Yes you can. Well. It depends on the state. Im in CA and used to work for EDD. You should apply for a extention of benefits.
EDD=employment development dept./the state agency that pays unemployment benefits.

If it runs out, then probably not. You would have to work for a while first before you can collect again if you lose the job. Call your state unemployment office to find out for sure.

Only if 7% of the population is unemployed, then you can apply for a continuation.
If your benefits are about to run out, you need to find a job fast. You can also try to get assisantance through medicaid I guess. They will also help you find a job and try the temp services.
For Illinois (see link below) were only at 4.5%...nationally is 4.6%.
Try to find anything until you find something better. You can try the other links to look for a job as well, they have listings in all states.
Good luck

It may depend on your state... in Illinois, you can only collect unemployment for 6 months of each year.

When unemployment benefit runs out... your funding runs out...it's time to find a job. Work in low-skill job is better than no job.

no everything will come to a break even point, not say that you can't get a job, maybe it's just what you request is a slicely higher what others are offer... Don't just think to rely on the government help, you're not handicap !!! Set yourself a new goal and work for it.. cheers!!

U could, but it all depends on the economy, if they think there are enough jobs, out there, no, it will stop.

No. when your unemployment runs out it is gone. if you are a single parent you might try welfare. But eventually you will have to have a job.
