Unemployed Can Apply For EIS Compensation With the Method Below
In Malaysia, 66,068 people were unemployed from January to July. If you have paid an employment insurance plan before, you can apply for employment insurance compensation when you are unemployed.
The Employment Insurance Scheme (EIS) has been fully implemented from January 1, 2019. People who are unemployed will be entitled to benefits such as job search allowance, early employment allowance, and training allowance.

The compensation that the insured person can get after losing his job will depend on the time of insuring. When you are unemployed after 12 months of continuous insurance, you will receive 80% of your salary in the first month, 50% of your second month’s salary, and 40% of your third month’s salary. If you have paid premiums for up to 16 months, you can get 80% of your salary in the first month after unemployment, 50% of your second month’s salary, and 40% of your third and fourth month’s salary.
