The minimum and maximum amounts of the unemployment benefits have been increased as from 1 July 2021.
Since the social security contribution of 6.5% is calculated on the sum of the unemployment benefit and the corporate allowance, we recommend that you check whether your former employees who are currently in RCC/SWT receive the minimum or maximum unemployment benefit.
As from 1 July 2021, the minimum amounts of unemployment benefits shall be increased as follows:
Daily amount (6 days/week)
Monthly amount
Head of household
€53.43
€1,389.18
Single person:
€43.30
€1,125.80
Cohabitant (amount up to the 24th month)
€38.48
€1,000.48
As from 1 July 2021, the maximum unemployment benefit amounts to €53.93 (i.e. €1,402,18 per month).
The corporate allowance you pay to your former employees who are currently in RCC/SWT does not change.
You are obliged to deduct 6.5% in favour of the NSSO from the total amount of the RCC/SWT, i.e. from the sum of the unemployment benefit and the corporate allowance.
If your former employee receives the minimum or maximum amount of the unemployment benefit, this will change as of 1 July 2021. So there is an impact on the amount of the deduction that you have to calculate and pay to the NSSO.
We therefore invite you to contact your former employees so that they can let you know the amount of their unemployment benefit to be taken into account as from 1 July 2021 to calculate the deduction of 6.5%.
Note: The thresholds for the calculation of this deduction have not been changed. They amount to:
