Can I Receive Support According to Resolution 68 If I Haven't Found a Job Yet?

According to Point d, Clause 1, Resolution 126/NQ-CP in 2021 (amended Resolution 68/NQ-CP in 2021) stipulating the support subjects for employees who have terminated their labor contracts but are not eligible for unemployment benefits, as follows:

- Employees working under labor contracts, currently participating in compulsory social insurance, must terminate their labor contracts during the period from May 1, 2021, to the end of December 31, 2021.

- At the same time, belonging to one of the following cases: required to quarantine, in lockdown areas, or unable to reach the workplace due to the request of competent state authorities for COVID-19 prevention and control; due to the employer being temporarily suspended from operations at the request of competent state authorities for COVID-19 prevention and control or the employer having headquarters, branches, representative offices, production sites, and business locations in areas implementing COVID-19 prevention and control measures according to the principles of Directive No. 16/CT-TTg or reorganizing production and labor for COVID-19 prevention and control but not eligible for unemployment benefits, will receive a one-time support of 3,710,000 VND/person.

Thus, in the case where you stopped working on March 24, 2021, it does not fall within the period to be considered for support. Therefore, you do not fall into this category.

However, you can consider and submit your dossier to receive support from the Unemployment Insurance Fund according to Resolution 116/NQ-CP in 2021, specifically:

Employees who have ceased participating in unemployment insurance due to the termination of labor contracts or working contracts in the period from January 1, 2020, to the end of September 30, 2021, with unemployment insurance contribution periods being reserved in accordance with labor laws, excluding those receiving monthly pensions.

Regarding the benefit levels, it will depend on the period of BHTN contribution without receiving TCTN. You should see the details in Decree 116.

Sincerely!
