I was going to say that Larry Niven wrote a novel (A World out of Time?) in which the cryogenically frozen were resurrected to perform menial or otherwise undesirable jobs, as a form of indentured servitude. IIRC, trust funds set up by the deceased to pay for their preservation and resurrection had been dissolved on the grounds that they were strangling the economy.
If Bide-a-Wee was not from this novel, a reference would be much appreciated, as my cursory search has not found it.
Trust funds: Pierce the Checker (Peersa) said, "The dead cannot own money. The courts decided that long ago."
"Corsicles" had to pay The State back for storage and resurrection, as you mentioned, which was the reasoning behind the Bussard Ramjet training Corbell received.
Niven sidestepped the whole "how to correctly resurrect a frozen person" problem by claiming that Corbell's memory/personality were somehow extracted from his corpse (destroying the body completely), and then used to reanimate a convicted felon. If Corbell failed his training, the felon's mind would be wiped and another corpsicle's personality would be tried.
That book introduced so many big ideas to the young me. It was the first Niven book I'd read; Ringworld was the second.
