While unemployed, can I continue contributing for common contingencies?

Yes. The cease of activity situation involves paying your Social Security contribution for common contingencies into the corresponding System.

This means the mutual insurance company, as the entity that processes the benefit, pays the corresponding amount while you receive the economic benefit for cease of activity as of the month following the event causing the cease of activity.

This contribution to the Social Security system will only be made for the common contingencies of retirement, permanent disability, death and survival, temporary disability, family protection and healthcare assistance.
