> it is not so motivating to be offered $1000 if $330 of that immediately disappears

I get how 1000 is better than 670, but on the flip side, that's 670 extra that you didn't have before, right

If it's about where the line falls, I guess you could only accept a minimum of $1492, so after the 33% cut you get $1000 :)

But yeah, as mentioned in my other sibling comments, I believe that the administrative burden itself might be enough of a barrier for lots of people to prefer skipping the problem altogether.
