What If you worked for the government for 10 years, and was an honest taxpayer, and all of a sudden you lost your job, and had to receive cash benefits of $236.00 monthly from the government?
Wait a minute! What if you were made by a government agency to work 25hrs. a week, at that same government agency, and an additional 16 hrs. seeking employment online at another agency, in order to receive $236.00 a month from the government? Should one get more for the amount or "work hours" demanded by this government agency? This is free labor for less than minimum wage. Am I correct? If, not, please explain.
If you were in this person's shoes, wouldn't you feel that this was unfair? Why or why not?

What if you lost your job today, and it just so happened to take longer than you thought to find "a job?" How would you feel if people didn't understand what you were experiencing, and they put you down because of your situation.
Some people go out everyday looking for work, any work, and in some places in the US, it's not as easy to find work, as in others.
Open your mind and your heart, people! Don't be so sure of your situation, today, as this could easily be your situation, tomorrow
PEACE!

I don't think you should get the $236/month check at all. If they just cut you off, I BET you could actually find a REAL job in less than a month. It is amazing how motivated you get if the alternative is starvation.

Then quit and find a job that you want. If you have 10 years experience and a good work record you can do better than you are now.

What government are you referring to? Certainly not the US government.
