Yep. I was one of them.
I got laid off, and lounged around playing vidya for like 8 months all while making more than I did working 9 hour days as a delivery driver. I had basically zero reason to look for a job while getting all that money. When it finally dried up, that is when I started looking.
Now I've been employed for 3 years straight, because I had an incentive.
Just normal state/federal unemployment. That was during the whole covid stimulus package years so it was higher than normal unemployment checks, but similar to normal welfare checks for say, a single mom of three getting money from the state.
