Hi, everybody.

In a transcript of a NPR radio program, this part exists :

WELNA: Pinnetti lives alone, and he's already begun collecting unemployment insurance. Hopes of finishing a college degree have been put on hold by the shutdown.

I understood it as collecting different kinds of insurances like when you collect stamps but I am not sure.
Would you explain about that?

Thank you.

No, "collect" here means "receive". He'd already started to receive payments under his unemployment insurance policy.
