Millions in Jeopardy of Losing Unemployment Benefits in Two months

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



When I read this article below … it struck me as to find out just when, where and how-come Unemployment got started …


I was curious as to find out how societies made it before Unemployment existed … because it sure looks like that’s where we’re headed … 

Then I considered the recovering lives of slaves … black, brown, hispanic, indians and so forth …… 

Because I know that they would not have qualified for unemployment … and they somehow provided a life for their families …

Then I considered the following information … because this too … would have omitted quite a few more form the benefits of unemployment ….

About Self-Employment

HERE Being self-employed can have many advantages, including a flexible work schedule, autonomy and less company politics. However, you may wonder what happens when a self-employed individual loses his job. In most cases, self-employed workers won’t qualify for unemployment insurance benefits but other financial assistance programs may be available.

A self-employed individual is someone who works for himself, rather than for another individual or organization. Self-employed people are typically independent contractors or owners of unincorporated businesses. If you are self-employed, the Internal Revenue Service requires you to pay self-employment tax, which covers Medicare and Social Security payments. You must also pay income tax. However, you won’t typically pay unemployment insurance tax.

Unemployment Insurance – a history

HERE Employer Handbook Index
Next Section

The first unemployment insurance plans, supported by dues, were adopted by some larger trade unions in Switzerland in 1789. Even earlier, a version of unemployment insurance in trade guilds was supported by levies on guild members. The first government system of unemployment compensation appeared in Great Britain in 1911. Nearly every major country has enacted an unemployment insurance system.

Wisconsin enacted a state unemployment insurance plan in 1932 in response to the Great Depression, when more than 25 percent of the adult workforce was unemployed.

 The Unemployment Insurance (UI) Program in the United States is 75 years old. On August 14, 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security bill which contained provisions for UI. This legislation was the key step in establishing a UI system in the United States. In all states, the system is a federal-state joint venture, financed by both federal and state unemployment taxes.

The enactment of House Bill 542 in the 1937 Kansas Legislature, signed by Governor Walter Huxman on March 26, created the Division of Unemployment Compensation.

 Today, the UI program is administered by the Kansas Department of Labor, Division of Employment Security, to provide temporary, weekly compensation to qualified unemployed workers. The two units of this division are Benefits and Tax (Contributions). The Benefits unit determines claimant eligibility and payment of unemployment benefits. The Tax unit collects the state unemployment tax from subject employers.

Business, labor and government give credit to the Unemployment Insurance Program as a factor in reducing the severity of recessions and other fluctuations in the economy that create involuntary unemployment. The Unemployment Insurance Program has a beneficial impact on the individual worker, as well as the community where the peaks and valleys of economic activity are much sharper than those occurring statewide.

Unemployment insurance cannot solve the problem of joblessness. Only more jobs can reduce unemployment. A healthy economy is the key to more jobs; KDOL’s programs can help develop and maintain that economy.
