If you are fired from your job and you legally and fairly begin to draw unemployment can that employer call you at home and demand that you get off unemployment?
No, the employer cannot call you at home to demand that you get off unemployment. When you begin drawing unemployment, the employer does not pay directly - there is a fund in which employer deposits are being placed and that fund is where the unemployment payment comes out - nothing to do with your ex-employer. If your ex-employer is harassing you; however, you should call the police and BBB.

How did unemployment compensation come into being?
Benefits are paid by the state from a special fund. The fund gets its money from employers, who pay a tax specifically for this program. The funding mechanism is very different from a system such as workers' compensation, in which an employee receives payments directly from an employer through the employer's insurance company. It is also different from benefit programs that use state general fund money. The fund that pays unemployment insurance benefits is not available for other purposes.

Who pays unemployment taxes?
In Texas, Your employer ultimately pays 100% of any unemployment benefits you receive. The state issues your check from its account. So in that sense it appears that the state pays you the benefit check. But then they bill the employer for the amount of those disbursements. So in actuality, the employer is still paying it. In fact, Unemployment Commission employees here will not even call it "Unemployment Insurance" because it is in effect not insurance in the way it is handled here. They use the term "Unemployment Compensation" instead, or at least when talking to the employer. <><> The employer pays into a state fund (SUI) and a federal fund (FUTA). Below is a link explaining how it works in Arizona. It generally works the same way in other states.
