Which term is defined as a temporary source of income funded by the employer for eligible unemployed individuals?

• A. Unemployment insurance
• B. Time management
• C. Tip (compensation)
• D. Teamwork

Answer: (A)

Unemployment insurance is a temporary income source funded by employers through payroll taxes to support workers who become unemployed through no fault of their own. It provides partial wage replacement while they search for new employment and meet eligibility requirements, such as having worked a minimum amount of time and actively seeking work. Benefits are typically time-limited and amount-based, varying by state. To access them, individuals file a claim with the state unemployment program and must remain eligible (able and available to work, actively seeking employment).

The other terms refer to different ideas: time management is about organizing tasks efficiently, a tip is extra gratuity given for service, and teamwork means collaborating with others.
