social assistance plan
Explanation:
How about a literal translation? Maybe they want a unique name for their own unemployment benefits plan and that is why in Spanish they did not call it "Plan de Prestaciones de Desempleo" or something like that to start with. This is just a suggestion, but I hope it's helpful.
