Unemployment benefits are paid for by the employee while they are employed.

TANF benefits are paid for by child support payments.

Social Security benefits are paid for by the employee during their working years.

If you are working poor, you will likely remain so until you die. The system tries to obscure this fact through the methods of subsidization of "public benefits" but, in the end, you are the only one taking care of you.
