Nobody really "makes more" collecting unemployment. The most you can make, even if you had a rather high salary, is about $300-350 a week. Before taxes. That's minimum wage. If you had a minimum wage job, you make far less. And you pay income taxes on unemployment.

Nobody chooses bare survival over a better paying job. Would someone choose to net $300 a week, if they were a lawyer or an auto line worker, over working at McDonalds for $250 a week? I'm sure they might. And they are entitled, as long as they are using their time to actively looking for work as a lawyer or auto line worker (and yes, unemployment double checks that you have been looking for work)
