Internet Access To Be Bundled With Unemployment
March 14, 2009 – 9:11 amHere’s a proposal from a blogger that’s interesting: bundling internet access with unemployment.
At the most basic level, Internet access would simplify essential tasks such as filing initial and weekly claims for unemployment benefits; time saved there — as opposed to commuting to and from unemployment offices, and waiting in lines there — would mean more time to search for new employment. It would also give the jobless easier access the benefits available from nonprofits, connecting them with volunteers, and in turn enable those groups to better assess needs and deliver services.
For unemployed workers, every little bit helps and being able to do things online saves time and money.
