Does this make sense?

*the following story is true; names have been changed to protect the "innocent".



Back in December, Maggie retired from her job at Company A. She had worked there as a customer service rep for about 5 years, clocking 20-30 hours per week. During that time, she had also been a seasonal worker at Company B, where she planned to continue working in the new year, 10-15 hours per week.



Tragically, in February, Company B's building burned to the ground and all the employees were left without their jobs.



Maggie then filed for unemployment benefits with the state's unemployment agency...and she was granted the benefits...from Company A.



Yes, Company A, from which she voluntarily retired, is now being charged for Maggie's unemployment benefits.



Does the government really support small business??
