This increase is due to the fact that the Government raised the regulatory base to 60% in July from the sixth month of receipt
The unemployed who have been receiving the unemployment benefit for six months will receive from this Friday, February 10, an average of 100 euros more per month, corresponding to the monthly payment for January, after the entry into force in 2023 of the increase to 60% of the regulatory base to calculate the benefit from the seventh month.
As recalled by the Second Vice President and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, on her social networks, “the cuts inflicted by the PP” are left behind, which lowered the regulatory base to 50% to calculate the unemployment benefit from the first 180 days.
«Today unemployed people will see their benefit increased by 100 euros on average. We recovered rights against the cuts inflicted by the PP. The regulatory base of 60% is effective again, and not 50%, from the seventh month of collection, “Díaz has published on his Twitter account.
The Ministry of Labor and Social Economy has recovered in the General State Budget (PGE) of 2023 the unemployment benefit equivalent to 60% of the regulatory base, reduced to 50%, from 180 days during the popular government of Mariano Rajoy. With this change, the unemployed will receive 100 euros more on average, until they obtain a benefit of close to 1,000 euros per month, from the seventh month of payment.
Last November, Díaz defended before Congress that this measure will allow the beneficiaries to maintain their purchasing power “in the face of inflation that is truly impossible.” The payment of benefits from the Public State Employment Service (SEPE) occurs between the 10th and 15th of the following month, or if it is a holiday, the next business day of each month.
