Starting June 2026, unemployed individuals over 50 with at least 20 years of work experience will be eligible for an increased benefit payment, as part of legislative reforms to labor office operations. <\/p>\n

Eligibility for Enhanced Benefits<\/h4>\n

To qualify for the increased unemployment benefit, applicants must satisfy several specific criteria defined by the updated regulations. These requirements are intended to streamline the support process for older job seekers who have lost their employment.<\/p>\n

Benefit Calculations<\/h4>\n

The primary factor determining the support amount is the individual’s work history. Those over 50 who have completed at least 20 years of service are entitled to 120 percent of the base benefit amount effective June 1, 2026.<\/p>\n

Changes to Employment Office Procedures<\/h4>\n

New regulations mandate that individuals with an Individual Action Plan must contact their local labor office at least once every 30 days. Registration is now based on the place of residence rather than the place of formal registration.<\/p>\n

Operational and Payment Adjustments<\/h4>\n

Benefits are now paid exclusively via bank transfer. The duration of unemployment status is capped at three years, and the policy of paying only 80 percent of the benefit to those with less than five years of experience has been abolished, allowing a broader group to receive full or increased payments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
