Why isn't unemployment benefits simply conditioned on 'you dont work there anymore and you dont have a new job yet'. Why have the extra complexity?

- credit_guy 6y agoUnemployment benefits are available not only to people who lost their job, but also to furloughed people, i.e. people who are told by their employer "your services are not needed at this time, and by the way, we aren't able to pay you either, but when we'll need you back, we'll give you a call". Well, now these guys got the call. If they decide to stay at home, should the Government keep paying them unemployment benefits, or not? If yes, then it should be yes, if not, not, but this is Government's problem, not Tesla's problem.
- squnch 6y agoUnemployment isn’t available if you voluntarily leave your job. So the question is whether refusing to go to work when the factory is operating illegally is more like voluntarily quitting or more like being fired.
