Al Ansari Exchange to Disburse UAE Unemployment Benefits
EN
In a major step to support workers across the country, UAE unemployment benefits can now be collected directly at Al Ansari
Exchange outlets. This move marks a significant advancement in the UAE’s commitment to improving social security and
making support systems more accessible to residents.
With job losses sometimes beyond a worker’s control, this policy ensures individuals have a financial lifeline while they search
for new opportunities. The decision to partner with Al Ansari Exchange—one of the largest financial service providers in the
UAE—adds convenience and accessibility to an already promising social initiative.
What Are UAE Unemployment Benefits?
UAE unemployment benefits are financial payments offered to eligible residents who lose their jobs due to reasons outside
their control. This benefit is part of the Involuntary Loss of Employment (ILOE) scheme, which was introduced by the UAE
government in 2023.
The scheme provides temporary financial support to employees who have worked in the UAE for a certain period but have
been laid off or terminated without cause. It allows affected workers to maintain a basic standard of living while looking for a
new job.
The initiative is part of the UAE’s broader mission to attract and retain talent, ensure worker security, and support economic
stability. By helping people bridge the gap between jobs, the government promotes both individual well-being and economic
resilience.
