The system of unemployment insurance (UI) in the United States is based upon a unique Federal/state partnership that is grounded in Federal law but carried out through state law and by state employees. As an insurance system, UI was designed to provide adequate benefits to tide workers over temporary periods of unemployment while at the same time providing sufficient income to finance the program. The paragraph best supports the statement that
A) Federal and state UI programs are entirely separate, independently functioning programs which merely share a common goal.
B) UI is an insurance program that is primarily funded by tax revenues from workers.
C) non-conformity with Federal UI statutes will result in a state's elimination from the program.
D) benefits are payable to all categories of unemployed workers as a matter of right. E) the Federal UI laws provided the framework for the system.
