You can get unemployment benefits by paying social security yourself.

Unemployment insurance money is the basic living expenses paid by unemployment insurance agencies to eligible unemployed people according to law, and it is a temporary compensation for unemployed people to lose their wage income during unemployment. The purpose of unemployment insurance is to protect the basic needs of the unemployed. Unemployment insurance is paid from the unemployment insurance fund according to law. The social insurance plan is organized by the government, forcing a certain group to use part of its income as social insurance tax to form a social insurance fund. Under certain conditions, the insured can get fixed income or loss compensation from the fund.
