I took my last unemployment check to the bank and deposited it -- $367 for some necessities. Food, rent, gas. My last unemployment check was $160 less than my usual weekly benefit

Washington state pays $527 a week in unemployment benefits?

So, 30 months (130 weeks) of unemployment at $527 per week = $68,510 paid out.
That is outrageous!

It was a severance package negotiated by the union with his employer.
