The unemployment benefits in all states are intended as insurance for the "non-voluntary" loss of employment, i.e., layoff or RIFs [Reductions in Force]

That means, with a very few exceptions for extraordinary circumstances, that if a person VOLUNTARILY QUITS a job, then that individual IS NOT ELIGIBLE for unemployment benefits.

The employer paid, payroll based, "premium" money "paid" to the states is only barely enough to cover the operation of the unemployment system offices and staff, and IS NOT the same money benefit recipients receive.

The money in a weekly unemployment check is paid by the last employer who terminated the recipient

Also, in Texas [I am unaware of other states], self-employed individuals are not eligible for unemployment benefits. Ostensibly, the reason for this is that if the self-employed individual is "out of business," then how could he pay his own unemployment benefits!

Because of the last employer having to pay the weekly unemployment benefit checks, when a terminated individual files for benefits, the claim is forwarded to the employer who is allowed to challenge the claimant's eligibility to receive payment of the benefit.

If the employer claims, and can prove, that the employee voluntarily quit, OR was FIRED FOR CAUSE, then the employer can "kill" the claim, preventing the need to have to pay the benefits, and thus preventing the ex-employee from receiving any payment.

How do you determine coordination of benefits?

Standard coordination of benefits goes in the following order for an active employee, not a retiree: Employee: Policy in which you are the subscriber is the primary. If you are the policyholder on more than one policy, whichever policy has been in effect the longest is primary. Dependent children: For natural parents still married, or without court order, coordination of benefits follows birthday rule. The parent who's birthday falls first within the year (goes by month, not year) is primary. For parents with court order, the parent named is primary. For parents divorced/separated with spouses and no court order, custodial natural parent is primary, then spouse of custodial parent, then non-custodial parent, then spouse of non-custodial parent. If dependent children are also covered by the state, state health policies always are last in line to pay benefits. For retirees (65+) still on employer policies and covered by Medicare, Medicare is primary and employer policies are secondary.
