In April this year, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the Ministry of Finance, and the State Taxation Administration jointly issued the "Notice on Continuing to Implement the Policy Measures for Stabilizing Unemployment Insurance and Benefiting the People". The implementation period of this policy will end on December 31, 2025.

I. Who receives the unemployment insurance stability retention subsidy?

All insured enterprises, social groups, foundations, law firms, accounting firms, and sole proprietors registered as units can apply for unemployment insurance stability subsidy.

II. What are the requirements?

Two conditions must be met simultaneously:

1. Good payment record

When applying in 2024 and beyond, the enterprise must have paid unemployment insurance premiums in full for at least 12 months.

2. Compliance with the layoff rate standard

There must be no layoffs in the previous year or the layoff rate must not exceed 5.5%; for enterprises with 30 or fewer employees, the layoff rate only needs to be no higher than 20% of the total number of insured employees.

III. How much is the job retention subsidy?

The return rate for small and micro enterprises can be as high as 60%. The calculation basis is: the total amount of unemployment insurance premiums actually paid by the enterprise and its employees in the previous year.

IV. How to use the stable job retention subsidy received?

The funds received by enterprises must be used for expenditures related to maintaining job stability, such as providing living allowances to employees, paying social security, organizing employees for job transfer training, and skills improvement training, etc.
