Frequently asked questions

How long can I receive unemployment benefits?
It depends on the number of months you have contributed in the last six years: from 4 to 24 months, depending on your contribution history. Use SEPE's calculator at sepe.es to determine your exact benefit amount.
How much money will I receive?
For the first 180 days, you get 70% of your base salary (average of the last six months' contributions). Starting from day 181, it’s 50%. The maximum monthly benefit in 2026 is €1,575 without children and €1,890 with dependent children.
Can I work while receiving unemployment benefits?
You can partially combine part-time work with the benefit under certain conditions. If you are working full-time, you must inform SEPE, or your benefit will be suspended. Failing to do so is fraud and results in repayment and disqualification.
What is the difference between contributory unemployment allowance and subsidy?
The contributory unemployment allowance requires at least 12 months of contributions in the last six years. The unemployment subsidy is for those who do not qualify or have exhausted their entitlement, with specific requirements. Subsidy amount is 80% of IPREM (around €480 in 2026).
