[QUOTE="rod, post: 1061947, member: 5382"] The one and only time I collected unemployment benefits was in 1970 when I got out of the Army. At that time we had to show up in person at the Minnesota State Employment Office with a list of places we had visited that week to apply for jobs. No list-no check. When they called you up to the counter you had to show them your list--- then they would check their list of jobs and if you were qualified for any of them you had no choice but to report for work --- no matter how much you wanted to goof off. If they had no jobs they could match you with you got your check handed to you that week (I think it was for about 75 bucks). Unemployment ran out after 26 weeks after which you could apply ONCE for a 26 week extention. I never heard of anyone that actually got an extention. About every other week they would assign me some crappy temporary job that paid minimum wage. I "milked" the system for about 2 months before I hired on at UPS. At that time in my life (all I wanted to do was party after getting out of the Service) it was like playing Russian Roulette---you just prayed the guy ahead of you got the last job they had available that day.
