Each state administers its own unemployment insurance benefits program.  Each state also has its own unemployment insurance trust fund, and some are in better shape than others.  Above is a chart of the states that are now relying on loans from the Federal Unemployment Account to provide for continued unemployment benefits to the qualifing unemployed in their state.  As of a year ago, only Michigan was borrowing from the Federal Unemployment Account.  Total loans now amount to over $10 billion.
