Answer: Rise during recession and thus reduce the severity of the recession.

Explanation: An unemployment compensation payments also known as unemployment benefit is money paid to unemployed people in the society by the government, to sustain them financially until when they can secure a job.

During a recession when the economy normally is down and people tend to loss their jobs, the government increases the unemployment benefits to ease the impact of the recession on its citizens.
