Ok, so heres the deal.

Last August, signed a contract with the ambulance company I work for to bump me to supervisor and switch me to salary. Salary was $2304 every 2 wks with a max of 96 hrs per week. Several months go by, life is great, wifey is happy, etc.....

Then there was company wide cut backs. No pink slips for anyone, just cut backs on hrs. And lo and behold, the owner decided to use the "contract void at decision of either party".

So now I've gone from $2000 a pay period to avg of $800 a pay period. Having tryed to wait it out, I've already burned through the emergency savings. Monthly bills come out to about $2400. Already started getting rid of "wants". Motorcycle was the 1st to go. Next on the chopping block is the Jetski. Can't quit, pay is still better here than any where else. (atleast ems wise. already passed the border patrol test. if background check goes good, going to training in Sept.)

Heres the question:
Someone told me something about that you can get financial asst. even for pay cuts, kinda along the lines of un-employment. Has anyone heard of anything like this?

Thanks in advance.
