i would apply for unemployment anyway...i got it even though i worked VERY little at my last job (due to them cutting my hours, i think i made $6000-$8000 the entire year i worked there) and because of the current situation emergency extensions are readily available, so even though i was only cleared for 12 weeks, emergency extensions through federal govt allowed me to stay on for much longer. it was only $91.80 a week (because i made so little) but it's $91.80 i didn't have before, you know? on weeks you make a good amount camming you can claim it as self-employment and unemployment won't pay out that week, but the amount in your unemployment "account" will roll over for weeks where you make nothing. please please apply if you need it...you may be eligible for more than you think. and depending on what state you live in, you may be eligible for snap benefits (if you're single with no kids, it's good in some states - like virginia - and awful in others, like florida and georgia, in my experience).
i'm so so sorry this happened to you

it's completely unfair and awful. i really hope working streamate full time works out for you.
