I had worked in the company No.1 and participated in social insurance for 3 years and 9 months and have received the 1st unemployment insurance of 3 months. Then I switched to the company No.2 and joined the social insurance for 4 months, then switched to the company No.3, which had interrupted the time of participating in social insurance. Here is the case: When I move to the company No.3, do I have to work for 12 consecutive months to enjoy the 2nd unemployment insurance, or only for 8 months (in the company No.3) then add 4 months (from the company No.2) which will be 12 months in total in order to be eligible to receive the 2nd unemployment insurance? And how many times can a person receive unemployment insurance?
- Clause 2, Article 49 of the Law on Employment provides the conditions for unemployment allowance receipt as follows:
+ For employees with labor contracts or working contracts of indefinite or definite time: Having paid unemployment insurance premiums for at least full 12 months within 24 months before terminating the labor contract or working contract.
+ For employees with seasonal or job-based working contracts with a term of between full 3 months and under 12 months: Having paid unemployment insurance premiums for at least full 12 months within 36 months before terminating the labor contract.
If you meet the conditions as mentioned above, you will be entitled to unemployment benefits. The number of times to enjoy unemployment allowance is not limited as prescribed. The period of unearned unemployment insurance payment will be reserved incrementally with the later participation time of unemployment insurance (if any) to serve as a basis for calculating the entitlement when eligible for entitlement as prescribed.
