<prompt> Human: Im a single person in my late twenties with a healthy support system, so I am asking this as much for the other people less fortunate than me as I am for myself. It looks increasingly likely that Kansas schools will start on a delay this year, meaning I may go the entire month of September without a paycheck if not longer. My questions are this-A What, if any options do I have for filing unemployment as an exempt employee that is technically still employed but not currently working? For example, I start work in early August but I have already been paid through August as part of my last years contract. Do I need to wait until September to file unemployment benefits, or can I file on the date that my next years contract should start? Can I even file at all?A2 How is that different for non-exempt employees that work throughout the entire year? Can my friends that are custodians and cooks file as soon as the schools shut down likely July 1?B What sort of sharing economy alternatives exist to make up for the lapse in income? I have already looked at freelance writing, and I am aware of Uber. Are there other ways I can make money in the meantime?C I know that in the past during government shutdowns and similar situations, there are certain bill providers that have been more willing to work with employees that have been out of work as a result. Does anyone have any idea what options exist, and even if they are not what steps should I take to safeguard myself for any shortfalls my budget might have during this time?  <response>: With school not in session, there will be a good number of families looking for child care andor tutoring. Good way to make some side cash.
