• First 2 months - 80% of your salary
• Next month - 70% of the average wage
• next month - 60% of the average wage

• next month - 40% of the average wage
• after another 6 months (ie 12 months since losing your job) - 25%

I think you will find most currently on unemployment don't think that far ahead. hence the lack of employment.
Or prepared meals for that matter.
Or lack of schedules of what to do once out of bed.
