Unemployment benefit from Segurança Social. It is paid if you lost your job involuntarily and have built up the required contribution record. The amount is based on your previous pay, and the duration on your age and contribution record.

Where you come across it. Being dismissed from a job with a formal contract.

Resigning usually gives no entitlement to benefit; if you leave by mutual agreement, everything depends on how the documents are worded.
