Whatt o do if I have a contract saying that I would be paid within 60 days of a job but it’s been 4 months and I haven’t recieved anything?
And now I am delinquent on my bills because of this. Is there any way I can sue for more money because it is taking so long?

You can probably collect interest at the statutory rate from the time you should have been paid to the time you are actually paid. The current rate is 4.75% annually, so it is not much money for 2 months. However, you should take action soon to obtain payment.
