I think what it will come down to is the unemployment benefits being tied to being "active and able for work".
I would think at some point the state(s) are figuring out what is going on and is making sure to change / enforce the language to stipulate that you must be willing to work to continue your benefits.
So, if your job calls you and says they are opening back up but you say no thanks, that should end your unemployment right there at the moment that you had your job offered back to you, and you chose to remain unemployed.
As time goes on i would have to think they enact something like that to keep people from blatantly / purposefully abusing / exploiting the system.
