the Chairman of the government Mikhail Mishustin signed the law on financial support from people who have lost their jobs because of the coronavirus. All taken on the account in an employment service for three months will receive unemployment benefits in the amount of 12 123 rubles. This is the maximum benefit amount, as it equals the minimum wage (SMIC). Unemployed people with children eligible for additional payments on 3 thousand roubles. However, not all patients will receive assistance. Important details support measures in the “MK”.
Since the beginning of the quarantine the Russians expect direct financial assistance from the state is indirect support measures, the type of vacation credit for the elite. The government finally decided to support the population and business cash. Lost job the government will pay the amount which in their opinion, sufficient for the survival of one minimum monthly wage. The same person will allocate to the companies that can’t pay salaries, but want to keep busy. Help modest, but at least it’s something. The additional payments to unemployed the government will need to 33.4 billion rubles.
However, even this money will not all unemployed. For payments 12 130 rubles to eligible citizens who have got under staff reduction or liquidation of the company after March 1, 2020. And then, only in April-June. Those who stood on the account in employment service prior to the first day of spring are not considered to be affected by the coronavirus. They will receive benefits in the same size. The amount of unemployment benefit is calculated on the basis of seniority and the employee’s salary on a former place. The minimum size of such benefits – 1,5 thousand roubles. Payment of 3 thousand rubles for the minor child also receive sacked after 1 March. To get help remotely need to apply for registration as unemployed and draw benefits through the state portal “Work in Russia”. Those who were fired because of violations of labor discipline, antivirus benefit are not entitled.
Families with children will support another innovation. Now in determining the need for appointment of social benefits will not take the income of an unemployed family member. It is, in particular, on “Putin’s” allowances for children from 3 to 7 years for low-income families. Earlier, when the family asked for aid, take into account the salary of a parent last year, even if this year he was unemployed. Because of this, some families do not fall into the category of the needy and they were denied benefits. The new rule will be valid until 31 December 2020.
registration in the employment service assumes that the unemployed looking for government job like an expert on social policy, doctor of Economics of HSE Sergey Smirnov. Under current law, if the forehead��ek twice refuse an offer of work (it must meet education and experience), benefits will be suspended. Also the employment service to offer paid public works. It is clear that in “non-working” period, until April 30, working no force. But these provisions of the act will be interpreted then – is not clear.
“Well, the government started to share those without money people, but these measures are still not enough to maintain incomes, – said Sergey Smirnov, – in addition, the demand as the engine of the economy payments for 12 thousand rubles, will not support. People this money is enough only for the Essentials. Now this is a purely social benefit. Then, when the economic recovery, the government should actively support consumer demand in those industries which are now paralyzed. A minimum Wage is not enough, we need the usual salary. While the authorities in this regard took a passive position.”
