declaração de situação de desemprego (unemployment certificate, form RP 5044)
A document from the employer to Segurança Social stating when and why the contract ended. Without it, unemployment benefit will not be granted. The employer usually fills it in, and it then appears in your Segurança Social Direta account.
Where you come across it. Unemployment benefit after dismissal or the end of a fixed-term contract.
Check the reason given for the end of the contract: if it says you left of your own accord, you will not get the benefit.
