What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the National Insurance Law to allow self-employed workers to receive unemployment benefits under certain conditions. The self-employed worker will be required to submit an approved affidavit on the closure of the business.

The proposal sets a limit of up to four maximum payment periods over the worker's lifetime, with a minimum break of three years between periods.
