Secondly you have to have held your job for a certain period of time and paid in a certain amount which varies by state. In other words you earned that.
It's one of the few social programs that, while not perfect, does give everyone a little safety net that actually earns it.

Actually Maxum, the employer pays Futa and Suta not the employee. Futa is federal while Suta is state.
