Since last Tuesday (11), the worker dismissed without just cause is receiving a higher amount of unemployment insurance.
The salary range table used to calculate the amount of the installment followed the National Consumer Price Index (INPC) of 2021 and was readjusted by 10.16%.
With the correction, the maximum amount of unemployment insurance will increase from R$ 1,911.84 to R$ 2,106.08, a difference of R$ 194.24. The floor follows the variation of the minimum wage and increases from R$ 1,100 to R$ 1,212.
The new amounts are being paid for installments issued for withdrawal since Tuesday and are valid both for those who receive unemployment insurance and for those who will still submit the application.
The unemployment insurance share is calculated based on the average of the worker’s last three earnings before dismissal. After correcting the salary ranges, the benefit will be defined as follows:
average salary |
installment value |
| Up to BRL 1,858.17 | 80% of the average wage or minimum wage, whichever is higher |
| From BRL 1,858.18 to BRL 3,097.26 | 50% on what exceeds BRL 1,858.17, plus a fixed amount of BRL 1,486.53 |
| Above BRL 3,097.26 | invariable installment of BRL 2,106.08 |

Paid to workers with a formal contract dismissed without just cause, unemployment insurance has three to five installments, which depend on the number of months worked in the previous job and the number of benefit requests. The benefit can be requested through the Emprega Brasil Portal, from the Ministry of Labor and Social Security.
The worker cannot have another employment relationship. The deadline to apply varies between the 7th and 120th day of dismissal, for formal workers, and between the 7th and 90th day, for domestic workers.
