You don't earn or accrue unemployment rights. It is a scheme for government to tax business in the name of social justice.
I think any unemployment benefits received should be repaid dollar for dollar as soon as you start working again. Payroll deduction would be acceptable. That way there is some skin in the game to get a job quickly, because you know you are going to have to restorethe temporary loan the government gave you.
It's the difference between a hand up and a hand out.
So now I would owe my the government MORE money, ontop of what they already take?
Where does the money go that I pay back, to the busniesses and folks that may have taken my job from me?
What happens to you when there are no jobs to be had? Or any job you can get barely feeds the kids, and you want to take more of it to give to whomever.
