Please assist with a detailed response with APA formatted references in the given problem:
You are asked to look at two court cases. Each case should concern one of the required benefits listed below. Each of the two court cases discussed should relate to a different benefit.
Note: Most legal cases can be found in LexisNexis.
1. Workers Compensation offers insurance benefits to employees who become ill or are injured at work. This insurance is different in every state and is dictated at the state level. In addition, some states require employers to purchase disability insurance.
2. Unemployment Insurance provides compensation to employees who lose their job for no fault of their own. It is different in every state and is mandated at the state level. The first step is to register the business with the state's workforce agency and that is where you'll learn what the state requirement is.
3. Social Security Taxes are required to be paid on employees. The current rate for SS tax is 6.2%, which both the employee and the employer pays, plus an additional 1.45% for Medicare tax.
4. COBRA Benefits are required for employers with 20 or more employees who are subject to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA). COBRA allows the employee to maintain their insurance coverage at the employer's group rates for a period of up to 18 months. This coverage applies to former employees, former employee spouses, dependent children and retirees.
[Please note that the Family and Medical Leave Act might also be listed here. But there is no need to discuss it].
