Not that I am defending this, but it I can see how this happens. If you have a million bucks in the bank and loose your job, you still qualify for unemployment. We need to make a law that if you have a certain amount of money in the bank you no longer qualify for unemployment.
My parents did something similar really. My father died when I was nine months old and both my mother and I collected social security. My mother on my behalf until I was eighteeen, and my mother collected until she re-married. In fact, they put off their marriage a few years so they could continue collecting the money.
