Guarantees of social support

Payment of unemployment benefits, including during the period of temporary incapacity for work of the unemployed;

The Employment Law does not include material assistance to the unemployed as a guarantee of social support, namely in Art. 28 “Guarantees of social support for the unemployed” says nothing about it. This is probably due to the fact that the provision of material and other assistance to the unemployed is carried out at the discretion of the employment service, this is not a mandatory payment.
Unemployment benefits
Unemployment benefit is state-guaranteed material support for the unemployed in the form of periodic payments. Unemployment benefits are paid from the federal budget.
The decision to grant unemployment benefits is made by the employment service authorities simultaneously with the decision to recognize a citizen as unemployed on the basis of his personal application.
The procedure for determining the amount of unemployment benefits is regulated by Art. 30 of the Law on Employment.
Benefits for unemployed citizens dismissed for any reason are established as a percentage of average earnings calculated over the last three months at their last place of work, if during the twelve months preceding the start of unemployment they had paid work for at least 26 calendar weeks on a full-time basis day (week) or on a part-time basis (week), recalculating 26 calendar weeks with a full working day (week).
Percentages to average earnings are determined according to the rules established by Art. 33 of the Law on Employment, and are:
In the first three months of unemployment - in the amount of 75 percent of their average monthly earnings (salary), calculated over the last three months at the last place of work (service);
In the next four months - in the amount of 60 percent;
In the future - in the amount of 45 percent, but in all cases not higher than the subsistence level calculated in the constituent entity of the Russian Federation in the prescribed manner, and not lower than 20 percent of the specified subsistence level. At the same time, the amount of unemployment benefits should not be less than 100 rubles.
For all other citizens registered as unemployed, the amount of unemployment benefit is set at 20 percent of the subsistence minimum calculated in the constituent entity of the Russian Federation in the prescribed manner, but not less than 100 rubles. For citizens living in the regions of the Far North and equivalent areas, as well as in areas and areas where regional coefficients are applied to wages for living in difficult natural and climatic conditions, unemployment benefits, set at no more than 100 rubles, are increased by the value of the regional coefficient.
According to this rule, the amount of unemployment benefits is determined, in particular, for such categories of citizens who: are looking for work for the first time (those who have not previously worked), do not have a profession (specialty), are seeking to resume labor activity after a long (more than one year) break; were dismissed from organizations during the 12 months preceding the onset of unemployment, and had less than 26 calendar weeks of paid work during this period.
The law provides for an increase in the amount of unemployment benefits for the following categories of unemployed citizens:
The first category includes citizens who support other persons. In this case, the amount of unemployment benefits increases by 10 percent of the subsistence minimum calculated in the constituent entity of the Russian Federation in the prescribed manner, but not less than 50 rubles for each of these persons. At the same time maximum size additional payments cannot exceed 30 percent of the subsistence minimum calculated in the constituent entity of the Russian Federation in the prescribed manner. If both parents are unemployed, an increase in the amount of benefits for persons supported by them is made to each of the parents.
The number of persons supported by an unemployed person may include children, father, mother, spouse, brothers, sisters, grandchildren who do not have able-bodied parents, grandparents in the absence of persons who are legally required to support them. At the same time, the family members listed above can be considered dependent on a citizen if they are fully supported by him or receive assistance from him, which is a constant and main source of livelihood for them.
Children are considered dependent on both parents, regardless of how much wages each of them receives. This means that the child supplement is assigned to the benefit of any of the parents recognized as unemployed, even if his earnings were less than that of the spouse who continues to work.
The second category includes citizens living in the regions of the Far North and equivalent areas, as well as in areas and areas where regional coefficients are applied to wages for living in difficult natural and climatic conditions. In these cases, the amount of the benefit is established taking into account the regional coefficient in force in the given area. At the same time, citizens who were dismissed from organizations during the 12 months preceding the start of unemployment, and who had paid work during this period for at least 26 calendar weeks on a full-time (week) or part-time (week) basis, recalculated to 26 calendar weeks weeks with full-time work (week), the average wage for calculating unemployment benefits is calculated taking into account the regional coefficient and a percentage increase in wages for work experience in such areas and localities.
