A reader who has email address as hiephoatx @ xx would like to ask: I have just quited my job and received my social insurance book back. What do I need to prepare for submitting a file for unemployment benefits?

Lawyer Do Thi Hoa, YouMe Law Firm answers:

Article 16 of Decree No. 28/2015 / ND-CP detailing the implementation of a number of articles of the Law on Employment regarding unemployment insurance stipulates a dossier to request unemployment allowance as follows:

1. A written form of unemployment benefit defined by the Minister of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs.

2. An original or certified true copy of one of the following documents certifying the termination of the labor contract or working contract:

The labor contract or working contract expired or terminated under its term;

b) The resignation decision;

c) The demission decision;

d) Disciplinary decisions on dismissal;

dd) The written notice or agreement of termination of the labor contract or working contract.

If employees participate in unemployment insurance under the provisions of Point c, Paragraph 1 of Article 43 of the Law on Employment, the documents certifying the termination of the labor contract under seasonal work or under a certain job from full 03 months to less than 12 months shall be the original or certified true copy of such contract.

3. Social insurance books

social insurance organizations shall certify the premium payment of unemployment insurance and return the social insurance book to employees within 05 working days from receipt of the request of the employers.
