Amount

When the worker is in a situation of temporary disability (TD) derived from common contingencies and during this period the worker's contract is terminated:

• They will continue receiving TD benefit in an amount equal to their corresponding unemployment benefit until said situation comes to an end, and will then acquire legally unemployed status if the contract was terminated for any of the legal causes that give rise to said status and start receiving, if they meet the necessary requirements, their corresponding contributory unemployment benefit, having started receiving said benefit on the termination date of the contract, or the unemployment benefit. In this case, the time that they have been in the situation of TD will be subtracted from the period for collecting unemployment benefit and counted as having been used up, starting from the termination date of the employment contract.

• The SPEE  will make the Social Security contributions, assuming the contribution corresponding to the worker in its entirety for the entire period that is deducted as consumed, even when unemployment benefit has not been requested and without a situation of continuity is passed to a situation of permanent disability or retirement, or when the death of the worker occurs, giving entitlement to death and survival benefits. 

When the worker is in a situation of TD derived from professional contingencies and during this period their employment contract is terminated:

• They will continue to receive the TD benefit in an amount equal to that which they were already receiving, until this situation comes to an end. They then acquire the status of legally unemployed and start receiving the corresponding unemployment benefit, if they meet the necessary requirements. In this case, the time spent in a situation of TD will not be subtracted from the period of receiving said benefit following the termination of the contract or unemployment benefit.
