Unemployment insurance is a transfer program in the U.S. that is funded by a national tax known as the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA), but it is administered by state governments. This means that the federal government sets the guidelines but the individual states have their own programs and determine eligibility and benefit amounts. Social security, Veterans' Administration Benefit program, and National Guard activities are all programs that are funded and administered by the federal government. Food stamps, on the other hand, is now known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and is funded and administered by the federal government through the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
