Hello, I have just been recently laid off of work. I am separated and have both my kids living with me. I have been looking into many options, and would like to return to school and get certified under a 2 year technical program. The unemployment benefits will be my life-line, but now as a single mom without an education, the jobs out there will not be enough to support my family. Will I be able to return to school and receive the benefits at the same time? What if I worked weekends and nights, would they still help me? I am not sure what the laws are here in Illinois, but I know that Obama has stressed for mothers to return to school. Can someone please offer some guidance?
