One of the interesting things you learn when hiring your first employee is how the Unemployment Compensation system works. The first thing you learn is that it is a tax on employers, not a government welfare program. Ultimately, all unemployment benefits come out of the employers’ pockets, not from any general tax revenue collected and allocated by state government. So, if you lay off or fire an employee (other than for very narrowly defined just cause), you pay the unemployment compensation that the employee draws.

The second most interesting thing you learn – and it is the most important to you – is that you, as a self employed person, do not qualify for Unemployment Compensation at all. As the risk taker, the fabled engine of American economic growth by being a small business employer, you are completely cut off from the safety net.

The bottom line? Employee unemployment welfare isn’t welfare at all and you don’t qualify. Save, save, save, because you’re the only safety net you’ll have.
