What's the difference between welfare and unemployment benefits

The source of the funds is the government's coffers. Because the government's funding comes from taxpayers, welfare payments are funded by the taxpaying public and corporations. Unemployment benefits, on the other hand, are paid out of a fund into which your former employer contributed when you were working. The source of unemployment benefits is your prior employer's contributions to that fund.
