No, I just meant in general. Under the circumstances that you're fully employed for 7 or 8 years, and never need to make a claim, the maximum payout is always 24 weeks of unemployment supplements. Therefore, after 8 years, you might have paid more than you'll ever get back, even with incremental raises during that lengthier period of time.
