the amount depends on how much and how many years one is paying the insurance and how many is his/her dependents.
I lost my job 3 years ago. Before being laid-off, I worked and paying premiums for 9.5 straight years.
(1) I was entitled for 9 months welfare support and I was entitled to a 7,200yen daily allowance including Saturday, Holidays. and Sunday
(2)The contract was not to engaged in part time or else, once caught, severe penalty will be imposed.
(3) every month, I must report to them the company where I am applying. At least one company per month. It is possible that you rejected the company that is why you are still searching.
(4) Since after two months I got a new job, I got a reimbursement of 30% of the remaining days of the 9-month welfare entitlement.
For example: 30% of (9months MINUS 2months)X7,200 per day = 453,600 Yen or about 4,500USD
