No it is not, look at your pay stub. Unemployment insurance is a tax paid by the employer. Its welfare.

“Unemployment insurance is not insurance it’s welfare.“

Then so is social security.

Obviously that is not the case for either as the labor of the employee pays for both.

I work in an ER in a hospital in southern NJ. I'd say in the last week I've seen about half a dozen or so guys between 35 and 40 coming in with broken arms, bloody hands(last night one poor guy came in with a missing ring finger), sprained ankles, etc. I'm guessing now that the lock downs have ended a lot of men are doing stuff around the house and paying the price. Summer is going to be a hoot. Can't wait for the drunken idiots who get on jet skis and go smashing into boats or a pier somewhere.

Social security is welfare too. If you take out more than you put in, its welfare.

SUI is state unemployment insurance deducted from paychecks; the employer has to match payments, but it runs out. If they offer you your job back, they can contest the payments.

What kind of business do you have?
