More citizens are entitled to assistance

Unemployed people will receive additional assistance from the state. A resolution to this end was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

Thus, unemployment benefits are extended for another three months for those whose benefits expired after 1 March.

A greater number of families with children under 18 will receive the 3,000-rouble allowance per child in June through August, in addition to unemployment benefits.

Private entrepreneurs who were forced to close their businesses after 1 March and are officially registered as unemployed will receive a maximum unemployment benefit of 12,130 roubles.

The May and July minimum unemployment benefit is increased to 4,500 roubles.
