Who pays?????????

Question

When an employee files for unemployment and gets approved...who pays them?? the old employer???

Answer 1

The state sends paperwork to the employer, and in turn the employer is deducted a certain amount. In IL, this is a short term thing, as you can only get it for 3 months, and then you have to start proving to the state that you are actively looking for work if you aren't disabled. Also, your employer can APPEAL the unemployment claim if they feel that it is undeserved.

Answer 2

yeh i think it comes from the former employer
