If you're technically a millionaire because your house is worth nine hundred grand, that doesn't mean you can go without an income. It's insurance.

Yes and no.  It's usually insurance when it's a 26-week thing.  However, when Congress extends unemployment benefits during recessions, it becomes at least partly welfare, because at that point it's funded directly by the government rather than by premiums.
