re: Why is unemployment increasing to $800 week during this?

But that's not the same as what many in this thread are claiming ("choosing" to stay home). A vast reduction in hours is basically being let go - not "choosing" to sit at home.

That's true.

You can't just say "Well, hmm... I can make more if I sit at home. I'm going home." and then try to collect Unemployment.

If your boss says "Sorry, but I got to cut you back to one day a week", then you can say "Well, that won't work."
