Unemployment Insurance is an instrument whose purpose is protect workers who are unemployed. This is mandatory and applies to those who are dependents (with a contract) governed by the Labor Code.
This insurance is financed by mandatory contributions and corresponds to 3% of the worker’s monthly taxable remuneration.

Changes in Unemployment Insurance requirements
A few days ago, Congress passed into law an initiative that strengthens Unemployment Insurance, thus reducing its access requirements.
The project, which modifies Law 19,728, which establishes unemployment insurance, contemplates these changes:
Reduction in access requirements
The number of registered contributions that allows access to benefits charged to the individual unemployment account (CIC) is lowered:
From 12 to 10, in the case of workers with a permanent contract or a private home. From 6 to 5, in the case of workers with a fixed-term contract.
The number of registered contributions that allows access to benefits charged to the Solidarity Unemployment Fund (FCS) is also reduced, from 12 to 10, in the last 24 months prior to the end of the employment relationship.

Increase in unemployment benefits charged to the CIC
To this end, an increase in the replacement rate for the second month of benefits is promoted. It ranges from 55% to 60% of the respective average remuneration.
Increase in unemployment benefits charged to the FCS
The replacement rate for the second month of the Solidarity Unemployment Fund is increased and the lower and upper limits of benefits for workers with an indefinite contract or private home are updated.
In the case of those who have a fixed-term contract, a fourth and fifth draft are added. In this way, your profit table is left with five monthly spins.
The conditions facing particular situations
On the other hand, the project also has a relaxation of requirements of access for those who have gone through particular situations.
Here we speak, for example, of loss of employment in an area affected by a catastrophe or in the face of a health alert, in the event that it implies a stoppage of activities in all or part of the territory of a region.
According to the above, the minimum number of registered contributions that allows access to benefits charged to the CIC would be reduced.
