I laid myself off once in Illinois. About 6 months later the state wanted
their money back. I told them I was an employee and the company had a
downturn and had to lay everyone off. We argued for a year or three about
it. I never did have to pay it back.

"I can lay myself off and draw unemployment insurance too."
You should do that and then take yourself to court to dispute it.

Personally, I don't draw a paycheck unless it is from a corporation I own.
I pay workers comp. And general liability.
I can lay myself off and draw unemployment insurance too.
I wanna make sure I am covered for my own body, those of my family and my
customer too.

My understanding is you don't need workmans comp on yourself --until you
do.
That is to say: nothing says you have to insure yourself with workman's
comp, but I once did cabling in a building where the landlord required
proof of workmans comp for every worker on the site. Since my employer
didn't carry it on himself he wasn't allowed to participate in the
project. I believe a county government owned the building, and I'm sure
that was a factor.
In my own experience I've had to file a notarized affidavit saying I
don't need worker's comp because I have no employees.
This is the evil empire state...your mileage may vary.

How much should I be paying per month for general liability?
I know this is highly subjective, but it is only one employee (me) a small
office and really not much else.
Should I have workmans comp on myself?
I'm not really doing much that would endanger myself (anymore, tower
climbing days are past, lol!)
