try contacting someone above the person you spoke to.

I did. No help.

Part of my severance package was six months of unemployment for sure and now I am in an extension. The only way I get more after next January 1st is if I enroll in school and the it comes from TAA. I rather get a job since I prefer the security of the health insurance. I can continue going to school on-line at my own time. I guess they are making decisions for me here.

I'm asking as my best friend has a daughter that would like to continue her education but can't do it without some kind of income.

yes you can collect up and have them pay for you to go to school i did it i had to cram two years in to one though

If you are at a school full time can you get health insurance through the school? If so check and compare costs. If you have a family you should be able to insure them too.

Found out today that I may not even be able to go to school because the cost would be $340.00 over the allowed amount. I have the school officials working towards getting me a scholarship or something. Unfortunately I can not do it on my own. If I do I loose all benefits.
