How many months can unemployment benefits be paid?

How many months does unemployment benefit take? It needs to be judged according to the payment time. Details are as follows:

1. If the accumulated payment before unemployment is over one year but less than three years, the longest period of receiving unemployment insurance benefits is six months;

2. If the accumulated payment before unemployment is over three years but less than five years, the maximum period for receiving unemployment insurance benefits is twelve months;

3. If the accumulated payment before unemployment is over five years but less than ten years, the maximum period for receiving unemployment insurance benefits is eighteen months;

4. If the accumulated payment before unemployment is more than ten years, the longest period of receiving unemployment insurance money is twenty-four months.

The process of receiving unemployment benefits is as follows:

1. Application: If the unemployed person has less than one year from the date of receiving unemployment benefits to statutory retirement (including engaging in special types of work stipulated by the state, excluding other early retirement), he shall apply for living allowance at the acceptance window of the municipal social security agency;

2. Qualification confirmation: if the acceptance window confirms that the applicant's application materials are complete and meet the acceptance conditions, it will be accepted;

3. Treatment review: After the preliminary review, print the Audit Form of Living Allowance for Unemployed Persons;

4. Payment of benefits: From next month, the monthly payment will be paid to my social security card.

To sum up, if the unemployed are re-employed after receiving unemployment insurance benefits, the payment time will be recalculated, and the period of receiving unemployment insurance benefits can be combined with the period of receiving unemployment insurance benefits from the previous unemployment, with a maximum of 24 months.

Legal basis:

Article 16 of the Regulations on Unemployment Insurance

Enterprises and institutions in cities and towns shall issue certificates of termination or dissolution of labor relations for the unemployed in time, inform them to enjoy the rights of unemployment insurance benefits in accordance with the regulations, and report the list of unemployed persons to social insurance agencies for the record within 7 days from the date of termination or dissolution of labor relations.

After the employees of urban enterprises and institutions are unemployed, they should hold the certificate of termination or dissolution of labor relations issued by the unit and go to the designated social insurance agency for unemployment registration in time. Unemployment insurance is calculated from the date of unemployment registration.

Unemployment insurance is paid monthly by social insurance institutions. Social insurance agencies issue receipts for the unemployed to receive unemployment insurance benefits, and the unemployed will receive unemployment insurance benefits from designated banks with the receipts.
