How to get unemployment benefits when social security is in arrears?

If your social security is in arrears, it may be difficult to apply for unemployment benefits, because unemployment insurance is accumulated by paying social insurance premiums. Here are some steps you can consider:

1. Pay social security as soon as possible: If your social security account is in arrears, the first task is to pay it as soon as possible. You can contact the local social security department or relevant institutions to find out how to make up the payment and ensure that the account is in a normal state.

2. Understand the conditions for applying for unemployment benefits: to apply for unemployment benefits, you need to meet certain conditions, such as not being employed after the expiration of unemployment insurance, participating in unemployment insurance but paying less than one year. Know whether you meet the requirements for applying for unemployment benefits and prepare relevant supporting documents.

3. Submit an application for unemployment benefits: submit an application for unemployment benefits according to the requirements of the local social security department. You can apply through online operation processes, such as WeChat applets and people's social networking sites. After submitting the application, wait for the audit result.

4. Review and payment: Generally speaking, the review time of unemployment benefits is 5 working days. If your application is approved, you will get unemployment benefits. Please note that unemployment benefits are generally paid once a month, and the longest payment period is no more than 6 months.

It should be noted that if you find a new job during the period of receiving unemployment benefits, you need to cancel your application for unemployment benefits at the social security bureau of the insured place before joining the new unit, otherwise the new unit will not be able to pay social security for you.
