Employees who lose their jobs are given priority for benefits under radical reforms for the welfare system to be revealed this week.
Ministers create a new, limited advantage for those who notice without work after paying the system, called 'Unemployment Insurance'.
It will have a lower age limit – probably around 22 years – with various support that are announced for young people outside of work.
The government wants to change the system so that those who have not paid it get less out of it than those who did that.
However, exemptions will be present for those who cannot work due to severe disabilities.
Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall will announce the changes to the commons this week, with a statement that is already expected in Tuesday.
She tries to save around £ 5 billion from the welfare account, with most of the cuts that are expected to come from changes to personal independence payments (PIP).

Explaining the motivation behind the reforms, said Minister of Cabinet Pat Mcfadden that without action four million people would have for the long -term benefits.
“There are 2.8 million people with long -term benefits,” he told the BBC Sunday with Laura Kuensberg.
'We are a bite in the UK and not in a good way. We are the only G7 country that has not found its pre-Pandemic rate of employment and we are the Labor Party.
“We believe in work. We believe in the good that a good job can do for people. We do not believe that it is good that if someone could work with a little support, they remain to live a life in benefits.
'200,000 of those 2.8 million told us that they would work with the right support tomorrow. So we have to reform the system, because if we don't, the process is to stand back and not to do anything that in a few years it will not be 2.8 million, it will be more than 4 million people. We can't allow that. '
A government source said last night: 'The challenge we inherited and the case for change is grim.
“When this government took office last July, more than 9.3 million working people were without work without work – that is more than the entire population of London. 2.8 million of them were unemployed due to long -term diseases – the highest in the G7.

'We have a moral duty to make Great Britain work again and to put welfare spending on a sustainable path, so that we can unlock growth as part of our plan for change.
'But our reforms are not only driven by a desire to balance the books. It is about giving people the best opportunities to continue in life through meaningful system reforms to prevent people from getting trapped and being dependent on benefits.
'Too long the debate about well -being is dominated by politics and ideology about people – those changes among this government. We will give reform with real people and real voices in the heart of changes – people who have been 'signed' for too long instead of 'registered' to support what will help them get back to work. '
