will not be eligible because the state has declared that businesses are now open for employment again and that means #4 is no longer applicable, neither is #5, or #6, or #8, or #9.

And therefore - if they refuse to return to work when called back, their claim for unemployment is invalidated.
Technically, I agree. But, to me, the key phrase is "self certification". And, these special rules only apply until the end of July. I don't think many employers are going to want to force employees to come back who don't want to work. I guess we will see how aggressive the rules are enforced, especially since most of the money comes from Federal funds.
