[without the right to sign on for unemployment benefits]
I did wonder about that - after I had commented. I don’t know the rules on unemployment. Thanks for the info.
I had a friend that was on "permanent " unemployment.
He worked a few weeks at Christmass/new year sales at macys or similar big box store....then signed up for unemployment benes...which was always approved...since he was "laid off for lack of work."
the kicker was that he always ticked the box "do you want to take educational classes"...
so he goes to some class and gets unemployment paid AND EXTENDED and all the fees paid.
he has all sorts of certificates...software, data base, accounting, truck driving..etc...
I lost track of him a year ago so I dont know the current situation.
