Be real...You simply have to extend these benefits. The problem is the terms of the system....i.e., you have to find a job in your field with a comparable salary.

HOWQ the system works needs to be revised. The old terms simply can't stand anymore.

UI benefits allow you to do this, but you may take any job you wish at any rate.

If you are hungry - get a JOB and earn the “measly” 300 bucks that UI brings in.

I have heard of people refusing a job so they can wait until their benefits expire. (I have a friend who thinks she can conjure up a $36k/yr job the moment her benefits expire in a couple of months despite not having any education beyond high school with no computer skills.)

They should be required to submit proof of actively looking for employment and cannot turn down a job so they can wait until their benefits expire or if it is a job that they ‘don’t like’- which I have also heard of.

And so far as my friend, I was going to help her out with bills and food but changed my mind. My taxes are helping her enough.
