The Unemployment Insurance system

This is the most recent addition to the Chilean Social Protection net. Created in 2001 by Law 19.728, it combines individual savings accounts and a Solidarity Fund, both financed by contributions from private dependent workers, their employers and the State. The system is compulsory for workers who initiated a labor relation after the law was enacted. In this section, you will find a description of the system, its financing sources, the benefit structure, benefits eligibility requirements, the investment regime, regulations, etc.
