To subscribe to the job loss insurance scheme, people can register through the ILOE website. However, workers are required to register through their respective sectors, such as Private, Federal Government and Non-Registered in Mohre (Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation).

Though it is compulsory for employees to register and pay for the job loss insurance scheme, companies can also log in and pay on behalf of their employees. But this is optional for employers.

Dana Kansou, manager of Distribution and Strategic Partnerships at Dubai Insurance, which manages the ILOE Insurance pool, advised employees to subscribe as soon as possible ahead of the June 30 deadline.

She added that employees will have to be registered for 12 consecutive months to be eligible for compensation.

Employees can register by visiting www.iloe.ae or dialling up 600599555 for eligibility criteria and to access the policy terms and conditions.

However, if employees are facing challenges in subscribing to the job loss insurance scheme, below is a step-by-step guide to successfully subscribe:

1. If you are facing any difficulty in identifying which option to choose to register to the ILOE Scheme whether (private sector, federal government or non-registered in Mohre), you may confirm first with your HR department under which sector is your company

2. Channels for subscription are:

  • ILOE portal and mobile app
  • Al Ansari Exchange
  • Bank Apps and ATMs(C3 pay)
  • Telecommunications bill and SMS
  • Businessmen centers (Tawjeeh and Tasheel)
  • Kiosks (UPAY and MBME)

3. How to register on the ILOE portal or ILOE App?

You can always sign up, log in and pay the same way you register with OTP by:
