Unemployment insurance is a regime that partially compensates workers' income when they lose their jobs, supports workers in learning a trade, maintaining and finding jobs based on contributions to the unemployment insurance fund.
Currently, the monthly unemployment benefit is equal to 60% of the average monthly salary for unemployment insurance contributions of the 6 consecutive months before unemployment, of which the maximum is not more than 5 times the basic salary for employees in the State sector, and not more than 5 times the regional minimum wage for employees in the enterprise sector.
The duration of unemployment benefits is currently calculated based on the number of months of unemployment insurance contributions: For every 12 months of contributions up to 36 months, you will receive 3 months of unemployment benefits. After that, for every additional 12 months of contributions, you will receive 1 additional month of unemployment benefits, but not exceeding 12 months.
