We use micro data on earnings together with the details of each state’s UI [Unemployment Insurance] system under the CARES Act to compute the entire distribution of current UI benefits. The median replacement rate is 134%. Two-thirds of UI eligible workers can receive benefits which exceed lost earnings and one-fifth can receive benefits at least double lost earnings.

The key thing is to make sure there's an incentive to go back to work. As long as these payouts disappear quickly, it should be fine.

The main issue is that there's going to be an expectation of higher earnings. I know I wouldn't want to go back to work to earn less than I was getting just sitting home with a thumb up my ass. I'd feel cheated for sure.
