Which term describes evaluating a claimant's financial means to determine unemployment benefit eligibility?

• A. Dole
• B. Pension
• C. Means Test
• D. Welfare

Answer: (C)

Means testing is the process of determining whether a claimant should receive unemployment benefits by examining their financial resources—income, savings, property, and household circumstances. This evaluation decides if someone’s means are low enough to qualify for support, and sometimes how much they receive. The other terms refer to what you get or the broad idea of government help, not the assessment itself: the benefit itself, a retirement payment, and the general category of welfare.
