Your employer pays unemployment taxes on the wages you earn while employed with them. Upon termination of employment you may qualify for unemployment compensation.

Unemployment compensation is the responsibility of the individual. You have to apply for unemployment to let the state know you are not working to receive unemployment benefits.

Unemployment taxes are paid by both the employee and the employer. If you are laid off, it is your responsibility to file for unemployment.
