yes and no. it is required for an employer to pay a certain percentage of your unemployment, but most employers have unemployment insurance that pays the claim. so the employer just pays his premium.

To receive unemployment, the state has to determine that you were laid off, voluntarily quit or fired from your job. So they contact the employer and question you to see the conditions of your termination. Lay offs usually immediately qualify unless the employer offered a voluntary lay off. Discharges or firings depend upon the situation as to whether you will be found eligible or not. Voluntary quits are harder to prove the situation was untenable but there are cases were you can be found eligible. Every situation is unique and treated as such.
