Is the Odd Month of Social Insurance Payment Rounded for Unemployment Benefits?
According to Clause 7, Article 18, Decree 28/2015/ND-CP, the duration of unemployment benefits is calculated based on the number of months of unemployment insurance contributions as stipulated in Clause 2, Article 50 of the Law on Employment. Workers who have contributed unemployment insurance for more than 36 months, any odd months not yet used to claim unemployment benefits will be accumulated and used as the basis for calculating the duration of unemployment benefits for the next claim when they meet the conditions for receiving unemployment benefits as prescribed.
According to the information you provided, you have contributed social insurance for 6 years and 9 months (more than 36 months) so the 9 odd months of social insurance will not be rounded up but will be accumulated as the basis for calculating the duration of unemployment benefits for the next claim when you meet the conditions for receiving unemployment benefits.
Therefore, if you meet the conditions for receiving unemployment benefits this time, you will be entitled to unemployment benefits for 6 years of social insurance contributions, and the 9 odd months of social insurance will be accumulated.
