STEPS TO TAKE IF YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT PAYING YOUR BILLS.

​BUDGET
-
If you haven’t looked at a budget in a while, now’s the time to do so. Every Dollar is a great free app to use to get a budget together.
-
Get clarity from your income sources as to what the reality will look like over the coming weeks.
-
Cut spending to bare necessities. If you can’t pay all of your bills, Dave Ramsey recommends you spend your money on these four items first and in this order:
-
Food
-
Utilities
-
Shelter
-
Transportation
-

DEFER PAYMENTS
-
If you’re still not able to cover all your expenses, identify payments that can be deferred:
-
Call creditors to explain your situation. You can ask for temporary relief on your monthly payments. If you offer to still send some money, even if it’s a smaller amount than your typical payment, they might be more willing to work with you.
-
If you have federal student loans, you can forbear (interest accrues) or defer (interest doesn’t accrue on subsidized federal loans) your loan payments.
-
For student loans, use this questionnaire to understand what options are available to you.
-
If you’re paying extra on debt(s) right now and have less than one to two months’ worth of expenses in an emergency fund, it might not be a bad idea to temporarily stop extra payments and then restart them once things settle down.​​
-
Reach out to the FIC team using an email address listed above if you want to talk.
-
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
-
Go to: How to file an unemployment claim with the Texas Workforce Commission.​
-
For people that don’t qualify for traditional unemployment, like freelancers, here’s another option.
-
Enroll for health insurance, if you can.
-
Use this week to get a game plan together and gather information, as there may be more changes coming.
