Question by Larry T: What law specifically denies unemployment benefits to a sole proprietor?
I understand that the employer can not pay himself a salary, pay payroll tax on his salary, and then collect payments if he goes out of business. I would like to know specifically where this is addressed in federal law or D.C. law.

Laws define legal obligations & restrictions rather than making every act that constitutes a "lack of common sense" either legal or illegal. The law doesn't specifically say you cannot make yourself the sole beneficiary of your Will, either, because it assumes you have enough sense not to do that!
If you are a sole proprietor, you are the only person who is in a position to decide if you should stay in business or not. I should not have my taxes pay your wages because you decided to go home!
