There's a ceiling to how much you can "draw" as well.

In California it is $450 a week. It hasn't been adjusted for inflation either. Hasn't been adjusted since 2005. By the way, side note here. The last time it was increased a Republican was governor. The two men that claim to care about those struggling to get by Jerry Brown, and Gavin Newsom haven't done anything to increase it. Their party has held majorities in both houses since the 90s.

What they have done to this state should have been a wake up call decades ago but voters are dumb and easily manipulated. I'm not saying the Republicans are the fix. Just making a point about the lies the party in power tells.
