Unemployment Insurance Policy: No More Worries

By Geraldine Baker


The outlook of employment these days is bleak because the times are harder these days compared to before. This is the day and age as well of modern technology wherein smart computers are being developed and improved that they are made capable of replacing human beings and doing the job that these humans used to do. In other words, you don't have job security anymore. It is a thing of the past.

What is becoming a survival trend of companies nowadays is job cutbacks. Single or married if you live pay check to pay check and you only have one source of income, in the unfortunate event that you lose your work, you can end up struggling. If you depend on your income alone, then you know you can have a hard time making both ends meet.

After all, today you may have your job but who knows what tomorrow may bring? Tomorrow you may not be as lucky. Tomorrow you could lose your work and with that your source of income. And if you don't practice being prepared for whatever may come, like you just live pay check to pay check, you can end up suffering from a financial tragedy. You can end up selling off your most valuable and priced possessions just to have a way to earn some money to pay off your debts, your bills and whatever other needs you may have.

In the United Kingdom, unemployed citizens are given some financial support but you have to go through a very harrowing process first. Secondly, the financial support you will get will not be enough to help you through all your financial responsibilities. And even if you have savings, without a job that pays, eventually you will start to see the money you have saved deplete.

If in case you are unable to pay for your expenses and bills, even just for a month, you might experience some problems. For the worst part, you may even have your mortgaged house repossessed by your mortgage loan lender. If this problem would continue, you might even have your savings depleted just to be able to deal with your expenses and repayments.

Note that unemployment insurance though is not a forever thing. It has a limit or what is better known as a cap off period. Normally insurance providers continue their pay outs for a year and after that, it stops. But this is all dependent on the insurance company as there are insurance providers who have a longer pay out period - 24 months to be exact and there are insurance providers that have a short pay out period - 6 months to be precise.

You can use the money you will get from your insurance claim to pay off your financial obligations and even for your little pleasures in life because the money will be given to you directly so you can spend it anyway you please. You will be eligible for unemployment insurance claim for as long as the reason for your job loss is a reason beyond your control and not because you voluntarily resigned from your job or you were terminated because of misconduct. Wouldn't it be great to know that in the event that the unfortunate unexpected happens you are ready?
