You can also encourage re-employment by committing yourself to continuing the unemployment supplements for a reasonable time period after they are hired.

I think there is another factor that needs to be considered. If you are unsure that the employment you are offered is pretty stable, it may be that you want to stick with the money you are getting for sure and worry about getting a job when/if it stops. If the unemployment money went into an account that you could access if you got furloughed within say three months you would be much more likely to take the job. Continuing the payments to you even if you get a job seems unfair, but providing some "job security" seems very fair. If all goes well, the money isn't spent. If another SIP shows up and you are let go, the money is guaranteed available to you.
