Just some ransom thoughts.
1. I have been an employer for many years. There is no employee deduction for unemployment. The EMPLOYER pays every dime. It may be different in some states but not in any in which I have operated.
2. I don’t know how you would do the testing. Unemployed people never go the a physical office anymore. It is all done online.
3.. I think anyone on welfare should be tested before they get any benefits. They should be subjected to random testing. They are getting free stuff that they never worked to achieve.
4. Social Security is different. You are entitled to that money because you earned it.
You might be referring to Social Security or Unemployment, which you do pay in to. This isn’t about that; it’s about welfare queens taking our tax dollars. They’ve never “paid in to” welfare.
In order to receive benefits, they need to (1) be drug tested, and (2) perform some kind of work for the community — maybe “do the jobs that Americans won’t do”.
UNEMPLOYMENT taxes are usually paid by the employer——NOT the employEE.
A percentage to the state—and a percentage to the Feds.
I have done bookkeeping for over 50 years & have filled out such forms for a very long time.
