State unemployment benefits are paid to unemployed able-bodied citizens who are not engaged in entrepreneurial activity and who are looking for work through employment centers. The amount of the allowance depends on how much you earned from your previous job.
Instructions
Step 1
If you have lost your job, then contact the employment center to find a job and receive benefits during this time. If you worked for less than 26 weeks in the twelve months prior to the start of unemployment, you will be paid the minimum amount set by the government. In other cases, for the calculation and assignment of unemployment benefits, submit a certificate from a former job about average earnings. Please note that the average earnings for calculating unemployment benefits are calculated differently than for calculating vacation pay and social security benefits.
Step 2
Write an application for a certificate of earnings for the three months preceding the month of dismissal, and contact your former employer with it. Make sure that the accounting department, when drawing up and filling out the certificate of earnings, takes into account the wages accrued for the worked time, various bonus payments, as well as wages issued in kind. Please note that social security benefits and payments made during the period of absence from work are not included in earnings.
Step 3
If in the estimated three-month period preceding the month of dismissal, there was no earnings or in this period you were released from work, write a statement so that the accounting department prepares and issues a certificate of average earnings for the three months preceding the settlement period.
Step 4
If the salary was increased before the dismissal, make sure that the accounting department takes into account this increase as follows: with an increase in the accounting period, the payments taken into account in this period should be increased by the salary increase coefficient, and with an increase after the accounting period, but before dismissal, in the certificate reflects the increased earnings for the billing period.
