Starting December 1st, the law on unemployment benefits will come into effect. What are the conditions to benefit from it?
According to the new law on unemployment benefits, starting December 1st, the CNSS (National Social Security Fund) will increase its contributions from 1% to 1.57%, with 0.38% paid by the employer and 0.19% by the employee. This increase in social security contributions aims to fund unemployment insurance, a system that provides benefits for six months, equal to 70% of the average monthly salary over the last 36 months. This system is also supported by a state fund of 500 million dirhams.
The question for all employees is how to benefit from it? To be eligible, you must first justify a period of social security insurance of at least 780 days during the three years preceding job loss, including 260 days during the last twelve months. You must also be registered as a job seeker with ANAPEC (National Agency for the Promotion of Employment and Skills), and be fit for work. The job loss must also be "involuntary".
While benefits are due the day after job loss, the applicant has 60 days after losing their job to apply to the CNSS.
