Which Employer Pays for Unemployment

So he got layed off in febuary, he filed unemployment and got approved. then 2 weeks later he got a job but the hours vary from 14 to 26 hours a week sometimes more .... So we were told we can file for "partial Claim". But who pays for this, the new employer or they use his open claim from previously?


They use his open claim. The money is coming out of a fund. The cost of the benefits are charged appropriately to the correct employer by the state when they collect future unemployment insurance premiums or tax.
