Simple. If you are not a citizen OR you are not unemployed OR you have not
earned more than $ 10000 previous year OR you don't have documentation
proving all of these asserts, you wont receive the benefit.
Alternative solution:
If you are a citizen AND you are unemployed AND you have earned more than $
10000 previous year AND you have documentation proving all this, you'll
receive the benefit.
If employment office cannot make a positive decision, it means you wont
receive the benefit. No one can get money that wasn't released.
And I think most Informatics courses students will easily solve this
problem, without having to be very talented.

I posted  the example below two weeks ago(?) here (what none except the most
talented programmers can solve) as something that requires three-valued
logic.

Do you agree? (I already feel I was right i my assupmtion)

Example case:
Simplified rules for unemployments benefits. How to program such rules?

To qualify for unemployment benefits....
1) you must be a national citizen
2) you must be unemployed
3) you must have earned more than $10000 previous year
4) all facts must be documented (if you haven't supplied sufficient
domentation then employment office cannot make a positive decision)
