Migration leads to unemployment.

Q: Zhang has been unemployed for one year and received unemployment insurance benefits according to law, but now that Zhang has emigrated, the social security department has stopped paying unemployment insurance benefits to Zhang. Is this legal?

A: The Scout Law Online Consultation will answer your question.

According to the provisions of Article 46 of the Social Security Law, the time limit for the unemployed to receive unemployment insurance benefits is divided into three grades:

(1) If the accumulated payment time is over 1 year but less than 5 years, the longest period for receiving unemployment insurance benefits can be 12 months;

(2) If the accumulated time is over five years but less than ten years, the longest period for receiving unemployment insurance benefits is 18 months;

(3) If the accumulated payment time is more than 10 years, you can receive unemployment insurance benefits for up to 24 months.
