9 $500

So GM is willing to make 9 payments of $500 to each owner who loses their job? What happens if you still have a job and you buy a new vehicle? Does one get a rebate of $4,500?????

What is the point of this question? The coverage that is being provided is insurance. If you have life insurance and keep living, you don't get paid. If you have disability insurance and do not become disabled, you don't get paid.

I am sure that most people would prefer keeping their job and having to pay $4500, the same way that they would prefer to NOT be dead or disabled and get the "benefit" of that insurance.
