Can you collect unemployment if your employer doesn't pay into unemployment?

I believe that is law that an employer has to pay into unemployment; it is supposed to be part of the taxes they have to pay. But, I have heard of some employers not paying. My uncle was in a situation where his employer did not pay into unemployment, and he could not collect it when the employer closed.So, I think the answer is "No, you cannot collect unemployment if your employer does not pay into it Actually, if your for-profit employer hasn't been paying into taxes they are supposed to, the wage investigation unit of your state's unemployment office will go after them to pay the back taxes.

It will take awhile, weeks to months, but they will get the money reported to unemployment. Generally, if they aren't paying unemployment they aren't paying your other taxes as well and you'll find out when you don't get a W-2 in January. Because if an employer is paying you via a W-2 then the wages get reported to unemployment If you're an independent contractor on a 1099 than that is a totally different situation and you may still be able to collect unemployment but they have to determine if you are technically an employee under the paying state's laws first.

Some states make it very hard for employers to consider you a contractor, regardless if you're paid on a 1099, since it's just another way for them to try to cheat the system.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
