The employer pays into the Unemployment insurance fund as do you when you are working. The last employer (the one that fired/laid you off) pays the lion's share of the premium.
You also are responsible for income taxes that need to be paid on the monies you receive. You can request enough withholding for federal but you'll need to increase it to cover the state taxes.
