  • The amount is calculated on the average of the contribution bases for professional contingencies over the last 180 days, with minimum and maximum caps based on the IPREM (public income indicator) and the number of dependent children.
  • If your contributions do not reach 360 days but you have at least 90 days in the last 12 months, you can apply for the SUBSIDIO POR DESEMPLEO (means-tested unemployment allowance). We will guide you.
  • While you receive unemployment benefit, the Seguridad Social (Social Security) keeps contributing towards your retirement pension.
  • It is compatible with part-time work on a proportional basis, and you can activate the lump-sum payment (pago único) if you are going to start a business or become self-employed.
