That Family Permit will not expire.
It only shows an expiry date as technically all visa's issued by UK must have an expiry date shown. That June 2015 expiry date just means that you needed to enter UK within the FP validity of 6 months.
You will not be considered as overstay or illegal by remaining beyond that date.
I'm surprised that none of your prospective employers questioned your immigration status.
Why haven't you applied for your residence card ?
I'd strongly suggest you do so ASAP
Although it's not mandatory it's most definitely highly beneficial especially in terms of travel and particularly in seeking employment.

Thank you soooo much Sir Terpe . I am pretty much relieved that I am already qualified to apply for a residence card. So it could be that we were misinformed; a friend told us that my wife could only apply for a residence card if she has already stayed here for 5 years, which made me assume that it would be impossible for me to get a residence card yet. Is there any site that we can read about our rights and legalities here in UK? Also, I was told by one of our Spanish friend, a single mom of 2 kids, that she is getting around GBP 1,500 every month and housing benefit (3 bedroom apartment) from the government. Could that be possible? I'm really wondering if that's true because another friend, a Filipino British couple, with 2 kids here, say that they are only getting around GBP 140 every month from the government, nor are they being given housing benefit. How could it be that the EU national seems to receive greater amount of benefits than the Filipino British citizens? Thanks again Sir Terpe

She can apply for a Permanent Residence card after 5 yrs.
Is the lady who gets £1,500 a month, is that + housing benefit??? and is she working ???
It's possible she could get that, depends on her circumstances
Income Support for lone parent =£72.50 a week
Child Benefit for 2 kids, about £136 a month
Child Tax Credits at a guess could be £800 a month for 2 kids if not working
But it doesn't mean you would get that
