The procedure and terms for the payment of unemployment benefits

Today we have to study the terms of payment of unemployment benefits, as well as all the features of obtaining this material support. In Russia, everyone risks losing their jobs. Especially in a crisis, when you have to either look for a better-paid job, or leave because of the liquidation of an enterprise or a reduction in staffing. At the same time, the state assumes the responsibility to support citizens who are actively searching for work. They are paid unemployment benefits. But how long? In what sizes? What do you need to receive this financial support? Are there any specific features of this process? It is not so difficult to understand all this as it seems.

Who has the right

The first question that interests many, is about who has the right to receive benefits. Fortunately, the answer is unambiguous. All adult citizens can receive such material support from the state. The main condition is the lack of official employment.

That is, when a citizen does not work, during the set time he has the right to receive financial support from the state. The timing of unemployment benefits is varied. Much depends on the situation. What features do you need to know about this support?

Not only without work

The next important point that is required to receive money due to a citizen's lack of formal employment is registration as unemployed. How to implement the idea in life?

I'll have to register at the labor exchange. Citizens who are not registered as unemployed in this service can not receive money from the state. This is an obligatory condition that must be observed. People who are not registered at the labor exchange are not considered officially unemployed.

The procedure for confirming the absence of work will have to be done regularly. Usually registration should be done every 2-3 months. But, as a rule, citizens try to find a new job place as soon as possible. Therefore, in practice, cases of confirmation of the fact of absence of work are not so frequent.

When appointed

The timing of unemployment benefits is not that hard to remember. The point is that these funds are assigned to all citizens who do not have formal employment and are registered with the labor exchange. When does the transfer of money begin?

A benefit is assigned from the first day of recognition of a citizen to an unemployed person. And a certain period (about him later), money is transferred to the account of a person who has registered at the labor exchange. But there are some exceptions. Everyone should know about them. Otherwise you might think that employees of the labor exchange are deceiving. In fact, it is not always always the purpose of payments immediately after the loss of employment.

Elimination and reduction

Terms and deadlines for the payment of unemployment benefits must be known to every citizen. It has already been said that not always this payment is appointed from the moment of recognition to the unemployed. In some situations, these funds will be transferred only after 2-3 months. When is this possible?

This is typical for some cases. These are situations in which disqualification took place due to liquidation of the enterprise or reduction of the staffing staff. Then, according to the law, the terms of payment of unemployment benefits are changing.

In such circumstances, citizens will receive an average salary over the next 2-3 months. And if during this period the work is not found, you will have to be unemployed and receive appropriate material support.

How to calculate

What is the amount of the unemployment benefit? Terms of payment are also interesting, but first you need to understand what to expect the population. Maybe there is no point in dealing with paperwork and being officially registered as unemployed.

It all depends on the situation. In some cases, the amount of money paid out will be fixed and minimal. And sometime, it will directly depend on how much the employee was dismissed in the form of wages.

By the way, even the timeframe for the payment of unemployment benefits in Russia for people who are entitled "minimalk" and for those who earned a percentage of the average monthly earnings, are different. So do not think that the situation is unambiguous.

Interest from earning

In what cases is the benefit paid to citizens as a percentage of average earnings? Usually, this category includes those who decided to resume their employment after the break. Either citizens who only recently worked officially.

In this situation, it should be noted that the first 3 months a person will have to transfer 75% of the average salary, then - 60%. But at a certain point, payments will be reduced to 45% of the average earnings for the month that the unemployed received.

When a minimum is assigned

And when do citizens get minimum unemployment benefits? These cases are most common in practice. The minimum payments are made after a long pause in labor activity. That is, when a person does not work for a long time (more than a year).

But this is far from the only variant of the development of events. The thing is that at the initial job placement the minimum payments are also put. If a citizen previously did not work officially and was not considered unemployed, he will claim the minimum amount of money paid for the status of the unemployed. This can also include a one-year break in the work, if a citizen was dismissed for violation of discipline.

In 2016, the minimum unemployment benefit is 850 rubles, the maximum - 4 900. It turns out that citizens have the right to a small amount of money. Therefore, many simply refuse to apply to the labor exchange for help.

How much is the minimum benefit paid

The main problem is that the population seems that money for the status of the unemployed will be accrued for the entire period of the absence of labor relations. But actually it is not. The terms and conditions for the payment of unemployment benefits may vary depending on the situation, but they are still appointed only for a certain time.

For the unemployed, who are looking for a job for the first time and receive minimal support from the state, they are paid only for six months. Further, they are interrupted if the citizen does not start an employment relationship. The break in this situation is 6 months.

If, after this period, there is no employment, then the extension of the term for the payment of unemployment benefits is automatically carried out. And over the next 6 months, the citizen will again receive a minimum payment.

How much is the maximum period of payment? Unemployment allowance in the minimum amount of a total of 12 months. And nothing more. After, if there was no job placement, no money from the state for the status of the unemployed can not be expected.

For former employees

It has already been said that citizens are not always able to claim assistance from the state for the absence of labor relations during the same time intervals. The term for the payment of unemployment benefits with reduction or after the usual termination of employment relations will differ from the cases of primary employment.

The thing is that in this situation, material support lasts a whole lot longer than in the previous case. During the first year, citizens who quit and now want to resume working activities receive benefits expressed in certain percentages of the average earnings. And how to be after the annual unemployment?

Payments to such people do not stop. What is the order in this regard? The terms for the payment of unemployment benefits in this case are automatically increased by another 12 months. Only citizens will begin to transfer not a percentage of the average earnings, but minimum payments. In 2016, as already mentioned, they are 850 rubles.

Grounds for termination of payments

Conditions for extending the period for the payment of unemployment benefits are clear. This requires you to treat a certain category of persons. And then there is an automatic renewal. Citizens should be aware that there are some grounds that will allow the state not to pay a grant for the status of the unemployed. When is this possible? In the following cases:

1. Turnout in the center of employment of the population in a state of intoxication.
2. Refusal from study or public works when in the status of the unemployed for 3 months.
3. If a citizen refuses 2 vacancies offered to him.
4. With the deduction or voluntary termination of training for which a person was sent from the employment center.
5. When it comes to an employee who was fired from his previous job for a violation.
6. If a person does not appear for registration without good reason.

It should be noted that the period of suspension of the payment of unemployment benefits can not exceed 3 months. However, restrictions are included in the payment period. So, if a citizen has the right to charge him money for the status of the unemployed, then he will get them not 12, but 9 months already.

Complete termination

Now it is clear how the calculation of the continuation of the payment of unemployment benefits takes place and how much it makes in total. In some situations, a complete cessation of this material support is foreseen. But when is this possible?

Among the most common and legal cases, the following situations can be distinguished:

• Employment of a citizen;
• Expiration of the deadline for payments;
• Fraud on receipt of benefits;
• Training from the employment center when getting a scholarship;
• Moving a citizen to permanent residence in another locality;
• If there is a criminal record;
• If there was a withdrawal from the register in the employment center at the request of the recipient of money;
• The death of a citizen;
• The appointment of a person to a pension.

How to register

How to get the status of the unemployed? To do this, you need to seek help from the employment center. Such organizations exist in every city. This is where the unemployment benefit is assigned.

To receive from the state of means in those or other sizes, it is necessary to be registered. This will require the following documents:

• identification;
• Application for registration;
• Bank details for receiving money;
• A certificate of income from the previous place of work;
• Labor book (if any);
• Documents that confirm the absence of a designated pension.
