What this article covers:
What is unemployment insurance and how does it work?
Unemployment insurance is a benefit from the Ministry of Labor for people who have been laid off and need resources to maintain their living expenses until they find another job.
Who is entitled to unemployment insurance?
Those who are entitled to unemployment insurance are people who were left without a job after leaving a company. If this is the first time applying for insurance, the worker must have worked for at least 1 year contracted in the company under the CLT regime, and the portfolio has been signed for 18 months.
For example: João worked for a year under the CLT regime at company W. But he switched to company X. It didn’t work out and he was fired. In other words, João can issue unemployment insurance, because putting the two jobs together add up to 18 months.
If this is the second time, you need to have worked for nine months in a year before your layoff date.
For example: now, João works at company Y and has a formal contract for nine months. He left and migrated to company Z, where he stayed for one year and three months, when he was fired. He can apply for unemployment insurance again, because in the year before the dismissal, he had worked for nine months.
In the third and later, he has the right when the worker was employed six months in a year before the CLT dismissal.
It is worth remembering that the request must be made between 70 and 120 days after being disconnected from the old job.
