States pay different unemployment rates because each state has a different standard of living. More expensive states (i.e. California) typically pay higher unemployment because the minimum wage is higher and there is a higher cost of living.
It is, in most, if not all, the states.
The employers pay the states a payroll tax, from which the states pays the unemployment benefits from. See the Related Question below for more information.
In most states you cannot collect unemployment if you were self-employed. It is advised one check for specific unemployment laws within their state.
It isn't. Unemployment benefits are paid by the state which collects it from the employer through the employer's payroll taxes. Employees in all 50 states do not pay into the unemployment system.

Redundancy pay is similar to unemployment pay in the United States; it is payments to a former employee usually from the governement to help someone who had lost their job.
Religious nonprofits have the option to not pay unemployment to the state. If they choose not to pay unemployment then the employee cannot collect unemployment. If they do pay unemployment costs to the state then the employee can collect unemployment benefits. Nonreligious organizations do have to pay unemployment, but they can pay the state one of two ways. As a state tax rated employer (same as a for profit company) or as a direct reimbursurer. In this case the employee is able to collect unemployment benefits. Referenced from www.chooseust.com
The state can't take overpayment of unemployment benefits from a Federal tax refund. Some states have provisions to deduct such from the state tax refund of their state. Most states will take a percentage of future unemployment benefits to pay off unemployment compensation overpayment.
If the overpayment states they overpaid you then they will deduct that from your next unemployment payment(s) unless of course you are no longer on unemployment then you are required to pay them back directly. You may have claimed or did not report monies they found out about.
Tax rates are the percentages used to calculate the amounts that you will need to pay to the government to which you owe taxes.With the United States federal taxes, there are several rates that require you to calculate your taxes. The rates in the U.S. are made in a progressive fashion, which means the more income you have, the higher tax rates you will have to pay.
