For a limited amount of time and they only cover a portion of your income. I know people who were laid off who had to upend their entire lives as a result. As just one example, their kids schooling was impacted as they had to drop everything and move during the middle of the year. One kid ended up getting held back as a result. They also lost of ton of money because they had quickly sell their home.
