[QUOTE="Working4the1%, post: 4444109, member: 79894"] [B]Workers are doing the math.[/B] Some workers prefer to be laid off than have their employers keep them on through the program. The stimulus package expanded unemployment benefits widely, allowing people who need to stay home to care for sick loved ones or for children. It also added a $600 subsidy to each weekly check for up to four months. In a state like Michigan, where the maximum weekly unemployment benefit is normally $362, some workers can now receive up to $962 per week. Once they have applied and their eligibility and state award amount are determined, the $600 is added to their checks. Workers haven’t seen that cash yet, but it will be retroactive for people who began filing March 29. Even with delays and the potential that they will be job hunting in a few months, the extra cash is attractive to some employees. “I’ve had a lot of clients over the last week say there is no way I’m going to get these people to come back to work,” Levey said.:congratualtions: [/QUOTE]
