It’s a paid insurance benefit. What’s morality got to do with it?
You pay tax on unemployment benefits btw
Sure do! A while back my unemployment was about $1350 per month and that was maxed out at the highest level. Unemployment is not cushy like some people think it is and that extra $600 is expiring soon

To be picky about my next role? I also have about 7 months worth of expenses in an emergency fund. Just questioning the morality of living off the system in relative comfort
You paid for it
Not immoral. We are doing this as a society to ensure people can survive while they hopefully find their next job during that period.
How much does unemployment pay ? I thought it was around 400 ?

I would be willing to bet I could land a comparable role in 8 months.
Don’t forget their other expenses like Cobra... healthcare insurance. $880 for hubby and me
PUA $600 per week until July plus your weekly UI payments probably between $400-500 or more for 39 weeks max. Until July, it is not bad. After July, you might want to get a new job.
