Higher unemployment benefits from June. What conditions must be met?

Benefit amount: what does it depend on?

The amount of unemployment benefit depends on documented work experience.

• Benefit increased by 120%. unemployed people who have worked for over 20 years will receive from PUP.

• Basic allowance 100 percent benefits are available to people whose work experience ranges from 5 to 20 years on the labor market

• Benefit amounting to 80%. benefits will be awarded to people whose work experience does not exceed 5 years

In most cases, the benefit is paid for 6 months, but unemployed people who have a dependent child or live in poviats where the unemployment rate on June 30 of the year preceding the date of acquiring the right to the benefit exceeded 150%. average unemployment rate in the country, can receive benefits for 12 months.
