The question of the amount of unemployment benefits remains relevant even today. People who have lost their jobs have to remain on government support for some time until they find a new job.
Nowadays a job can be found in one day and also lost in one day. In order to somehow stay afloat, you can resort to government assistance through numerous employment services (labor exchanges).
Benefits of applying to the labor exchange
It should be said that contacting employment services has its advantages. If you look for a job on your own for several months, you will have to look for a livelihood until you get paid in your new job. By contacting the labor exchange, you will be provided to some extent at the time of your job search. The amount, of course, is insignificant, but for the unemployed it will be a good help.
At the labor exchange, specialists will find suitable vacancies for you - you can refuse or agree to get a job offered. Usually, labor exchange specialists are looking for such vacancies that are directly or indirectly related to your education. Thus, you can not only earn money, but also do your favorite thing.
How much do they pay at labor exchanges
The amount of monthly payments at labor exchanges depends on such factors as the duration of the unemployment benefit payment and the size of the average monthly salary (it is determined by the last 3 months of work at the last job). That is, in the first 3 months an unemployed person who registers on the stock exchange will receive ¾ of the average monthly salary, over the next 4 months - 60%, and the rest of the time (up to a year) - 45% of the salary.
Unemployment benefits are usually equal to or less than the subsistence level by 10-20%.
Thus, it turns out that being registered as an unemployed person is beneficial only in the first few months. It is at this time that it is better, as quickly as possible, to find a new job or to accept the offered vacancy of the labor exchange, since it is simply impossible to live on the minimum allowance from the labor exchange (usually it is 800-850 rubles).
Interesting fact
If a person who has not worked before turns to the labor exchange, then the allowance will be paid in the minimum amount: today it is 850 rubles + correction for location (the allowance for a previously unemployed person in Moscow will be slightly more than for the same unemployed person in Izhevsk).
The amount of unemployment benefits changes every year by the Government of the Russian Federation.
In conclusion, it should be noted that the maximum amount of unemployment benefits at the moment should not be more than 4900 rubles and at least 850 rubles. Unfortunately, being unemployed in Russia is unprofitable, in contrast to European and Western countries. This is because unemployment benefits in Russia are a symbolic payment.
