As a general rule, unemployment is usually paid to the unemployed on the 10th of every month. If not, this past year 2020 with the problem that we all know, the days have not been the usual ones. Many entities advanced the strike to the 5th and even the 3rd of each month, but since October there have already begun to be banks that began to enter on the 10th. Not all, but little by little and the vast majority have already returned to the normal. This lag has caused many people to be concerned about what time they enter the strike.
Many times due to delays or problems that may have arisen from the pandemic, there have been imbalances in how much on what day and at what time the unemployment begins. For this reason, it is expected that little by little it will return to normal and the unemployment will be entered on the 10th. The only thing that could affect and why many people can become restless (as is normal) is depending on which day it falls. the appointed date. It could be that it fell on the weekend and that, for example, because it was Sunday, it was not entered, in that case it would be entered the following day, Monday. It may also be that this delay is more pronounced than usual or that your question is another. For this reason, this post is intended to expose the most frequent and common doubts that may arise about what time the strike is entered or when it is done.
How to find out when I will collect the unemployment?
One of the options that can be found on the SEPE website is to check on which day each person's unemployment will be entered.
To know yours you must enter the website of the SEPE and click on the People tab (It is located at the top of the menu next to other tabs). Once inside, 3 columns appear (Benefits, Find a Job and Training), the Benefits column is the one you must click. On the next page, there are 4 drop-down menus depending on your situation, so you should look for the one to check your service. Once inside, it can be accessed in different ways, with the electronic DNI, digital certificate, username and passwords obtained through the Cl @ ve System, or with a pin to the mobile phone. There you will be able to consult different aspects related to your benefit, as well as when the last receipt was collected, if any request was denied, etc.
What day is unemployment charged? What if it falls on the weekend?
Unemployment is charged on the 10th as a general rule. What can happen and is usual is that that day falls just on the weekend. There is no specific and exact time on what time the strike begins, so if it falls on a holiday, the strike may be delayed and paid a day or two later. Some banking entities together with the Government reached an agreement for the benefits to be paid between the 3rd and 5th. It was one of the measures adopted by the pandemic, although little by little it is returning to the 10th as usual.
Reasons why unemployment cannot be collected for a month
- It may have started to collect a pension, register on your own or someone else's. In these cases, the contributory benefit should no longer be made, and it is a reason to stop collecting it.
- The SEPE is applying a sanction. They can range from serious to very mild, such as forgetting to seal unemployment for a month (a fairly common reason). Likewise, they also communicate the reason for the sanction.
- When they detect that an improper amount has been paid beforehand and withdraw the proportional part of the unemployment. For example, what recently happened with the ERTE's, that even one person was paid in duplicate and then it was withdrawn.
- Because the unemployment, subsidy or aid has ended.
Reasons why a month can be paid a lower amount
- The first time unemployment is collected, the SEPE takes into account the date from which the benefit is recognized. For that reason, if for example it has been requested and recognized in the middle of the previous month, the half to be received will be reflected. As of the following month's admission, everything would return to normal.
- During the first six months, 70% of the worker's regulatory base is entered. (Data: There are maximums to consult depending on the situation of each person). From the seventh month the amount decreases up to 50% of the base.
- If you are combining unemployment with a part-time contract job. In this case, it will be reduced in proportion to the hours that are being worked.
- If it is the last month to which you have the right to charge. As in the first case, it will depend on the date on which the strike started and all the days up to that date will be entered.
- Something that has also happened is that many people have suffered incorrect income, in addition to the dates, due to the congestion of the SEPE due to the pandemic. In this case, it will be necessary to contact the SEPE to find out and resolve the problems. It can be done both telematically, by phone or in person (although there are partial openings and depending on the place), but due to congestion many people are also reporting problems.
They recognize my unemployment late, can I claim interest?
There may be several scenarios, one case where the Administration has not paid within 3 months from the day the benefit was recognized. In this case, legal interest can be claimed due to the delay and according to the interest set by the Budget Law. It is processed in writing, and always once the first 3 months have passed without receiving the benefit.
The second and most confusing case is that the benefit was later resolved (or recognized). If since the resolution is made the strike begins to be charged within a month for example, it will not be possible to claim. Because there is no delay of 3 months from the resolution. It can only be claimed if it takes more than 3 months from the resolution, regardless of how long it takes for the resolution to occur.
