[QUOTE="Debraen, post: 1063582, member: 44067"] I'm one of those people you speak of, and unfortunately, working the season at UPS is actually putting me in worse financial distress. Unemployment doesn't "supplement the difference." It pays only for those days not worked up to four days. Doesn't matter if you only work 5 hours at $8.50 as a helper or loader. If you work [B]four [/B]days, unemployment doesn't pay you anything at all. SO if I DON'T work I get $392 a week on unemployment insurance that I've paid into for the past 35 years. If I work part-time, on-call at UPS I make $212.50. And that's if I work all five days, which hasn't happened yet. If I work four days I make $170 that week from UPS and unemployment pays NOTHING. Work one day and unemployment pays 3/4 your full rate, two days gives you 1/2 your full rate, 3 days gives you 1/4 your full rate. No matter what I do, I'm losing money by working. [/QUOTE]
