The longest period for applying for unemployment benefits is 24 months, and unemployment benefits will be paid after working 1 year/month.

A person can receive unemployment benefits for up to 24 months in his career. For example, if you sign a contract for three years, you can receive unemployment benefits for three months. If you are unemployed next time, you will calculate unemployment benefits according to the number of years of employment. What's more, people who resign themselves can't get unemployment benefits.
