[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1592326, member: 12570"] There are states (CT?) that have programs which supplement your working wage with reduced unemployment compensation to bring you closer to your previous wages and save the state money. For example, you are working in the high tech sector making $25/hr when your position is outsourced. Rather than sit at home and collect $600 or so a week in unemployment, you accept a job that only pays $15/hr. The state would then continue your unemployment at the reduced level of $400/week. ($10/hr*40) for a defined period of time (26-52 weeks). The state saves money and you get to maintain your previous standard of living. [/QUOTE]
