In Russia, during the quarantine period, the expansion of the scope of the Unified Public Services Portal (EGPU) continues. Now you can join the labor exchange and receive unemployment benefits through the State Services. For those who do not know how to do this, the step-by-step instructions below will help.

Grounds and methods for obtaining unemployment benefits

The Russian government has increased the amount of unemployment benefits by adopting Resolution No. 346 "On the size of the minimum and maximum amount …", which entered into force on March 30, 2020. Now the minimum payment is 1.5 thousand rubles, and the maximum is equal to the minimum wage - 12 130 rubles.

More recently, in order to register such a payment, it was necessary to collect a long list of documents and personally apply to the labor exchange. It is not easy to do this during the period of tightening of quarantine measures, as well as obtaining permission to travel to the relevant authorities.

The Employment Act provides for the possibility of receiving compensation for layoffs while maintaining wages for the second and third months after dismissal. To do this, you just need to register at the labor exchange within two weeks from the date of termination of work.

Now employment centers work only remotely. According to the adopted resolution, in 2020 it is possible to obtain the official status of the unemployed and unemployment benefits through the website of the State Service. Before you get up, you need to meet some conditions.

Required documents and conditions

Public services is a site operating on the basis of the federal law of Russia of 27.07.2010 N 210-FZ, it was created specifically to provide the population of the country with a wide range of services, regardless of the status of the person who applies for them. Employment of the population and the signing of labor agreements were previously included in the liver of permitted actions at EGPU.

Here's how to get unemployed status remotely:

1. If a citizen does not have a personal account on the State Service website, it should be created. You can do this yourself. The registration procedure is not complicated and takes a short time.
2. There is a possibility of additional appeal through the "Work of Russia" website, but even there, to submit an application, you need to register with the ESIA (if you have registration on the State Services, you must enter the password and login from the site).
3. Subsequently, working with the web portal will repeatedly come in handy in the implementation of many functions, which previously required a real and tedious visit to the organization. Having found the official website of the regional employment center, you can create your personal account by entering your password and login in the upper right corner. There is also a separate button "Enter through State services", by clicking it, you can also get to the labor exchange.

Further actions on the site

Login (authorization) to the portal will require a mobile phone with a Russian number or SNILS code. Immediately after that, you can choose the one you need from the range of numerous services in your personal account. Let's consider step by step:

1. In this case, go to the section "Work and employment", and in it select the subsection "Assistance in finding a suitable job". Then press the button "Get a service".
2. We fill in the opened form. You need to understand that this is not a way to receive unemployment benefits, but a method of how to register with the labor exchange (to obtain official unemployed status, which entitles you to receive benefits in the amount established by law).
3. We enter data on the address and passport, education received or lack thereof, place of work from which the dismissal occurred. After all the fields are filled in, you can even express your wishes about a new, prospective place of work.
4. After completing the sequence of actions specified in the instructions on how to register with the labor exchange, you need to check the status of the application and select the address of the nearest employment center.

You can receive unemployment benefits only after the messages "Registered" and "Benefit assignment" appear. In the first case, it is the official recognition of the status of the unemployed. In the second - the fact of approval of the payment of a certain amount.

It is impossible to register with the labor exchange and receive unemployment benefits if the status of the application says "Add information", "Not enough information" and if it says that the benefits were denied.

Submission through the Gosuslugi portal gives a number of advantages:

• receiving information about open vacancies;
• obtaining information about individually selected places of employment in your personal account, where there is a section "Responses and invitations";
• list of constant updates;
• registration of messages about a suitable place of work in the form of SMS to a mobile phone.

Now the information on how to register through the EGPU means that there is no need to collect documents. There are passport data, SNILS. When filling out an electronic application, it will be necessary to indicate the type of activity and wishes for finding a vacancy, attach a scanned copy of the education document and fill out the column on labor activity, making entries from the work book.

The CPC receives information on income from the Pension Fund. It will be possible to receive unemployment benefits only after registration and obtaining the official status of the unemployed.

What amount can you count on

It depends on how many people worked and whether they were officially employed. In the first three months, you can count on 75% of the official salary, then for the same period, but 15% less.

The minimum allowance is paid to those who were expelled from training at the CPC, who quit their work as individual entrepreneurs, those who worked for less than six months in 2019, or did not work officially at all.
