September unemployment benefit arrives October 21 and 22
Serbia's National Employment Service says the September 2026 benefit is paid in two stages through Postanska Stedionica Bank, regular on Wednesday and temporary on Thursday.
The National Employment Service (NSZ) announced on October 20, 2026 when it will pay the September cash benefit. The regular cash benefit for unemployed people arrives on Wednesday, October 21, and the temporary cash benefit follows on Thursday, October 22. Payments are handled by Postanska Stedionica Bank.
Who is paid on Wednesday, and who on Thursday?
The first date covers the regular cash benefit for unemployed people. A day later, the temporary cash benefit is paid, both to recipients living in the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija and to those living outside it. Both payments are for September 2026.
The announcement does not state the benefit amounts, so it is not possible to tell from it how much each payment will be.
When will the money show up in my account?
The time a payment appears in an account may depend on bank processing, so it may not land for every recipient at the same moment. For more information on benefit eligibility and payment conditions, citizens can contact the National Employment Service.
Job fairs the same week
On the same page, the NSZ also published invitations to job fairs. The Pozarevac branch invites employers and job seekers to a fair on October 21, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the Great Hall of the Pozarevac Culture Center, at Jovana Serbanovica 1. The Leskovac branch is holding its second fair of the year on October 27, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the “Partizan” sports hall, at Pana Djukica bb.
