Why can't people pay for unemployment insurance?

If the unit is also insured by social security, it cannot receive unemployment benefits, because it belongs to the employment status.

Legal basis:

Article 45 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) meets the following conditions and receives unemployment insurance benefits from the unemployment insurance fund:

(a) before unemployment, the employer and I have paid unemployment insurance premiums for one year;

(two) the employment is not interrupted because of my will;

(three) registered unemployed and have job requirements.
