And you can, if you get fired.

  Uhh I think to get unemployment you have to be laid off (fired through no fault of your own). I'm not sure how you think he's getting paid 1/2 his current salary if he's fired, that sounds like $0.

    Not true. If you get fired for not attending your job, you don't get unemployment. If you get fired for performance reasons, you get unemployment. My father got fired for "insubordination" aka his manager not liking him. He still got unemployment.

  Unemployment is not quite going to be half of parent salary. More like 1/5 to 1/3 if they're lucky.
  • iopq 10y ago
    It's up to half of your previous salary capped up to a certain amount. I actually don't know if my father got half of what he used to earn, but some people that worked for a long time before getting fired or laid off do get half.

  Unemployment benefit would be less than 1/10 my salary in the UK. And housing benefit won't pay mortgages.
