For our foreign friends: I just want to point out that this is only for unemployment benefits, which is an insurance, not welfare. It's not true for welfare in many (most?) parts of the country.
Moreover, unemployment benefits stop after a set period of time (six months last I checked), and you have to have been employed previously for a minimum length of time to qualify. On top of that, it does not cover your full salary in virtually any cases.
