Unemployment (a.k.a Employment Security) is generally by state-specific laws, so a
one-size-fits-all discussion of the subject is nearly impossible.  Generally, unemployment laws
provide wage replacement payments to employees who have lost their job through no fault of
their own.  Employees who are discharge for cause are not typically entitled to unemployment
benefits.  Employees must fill out the proper paperwork with the relevant state agency for
payments to start. Employers are required to make payments to the state unemployment
insurance funds based on the manner prescribed by law.  Below are the state websites related
to unemployment.
