Unemployment for sure, day one. (Theres a two week waiting period before you start getting checks usually, maybe they waived it for virus times) Did your place mention if it was just for a month till they reopen? Sorry to hear it, its completely fucking lame that agencies are doing that after two weeks of hardship.
