Abstrak: Jaminan kehilangan pekerjaan (JKP) merupakan program jaminan sosial tambahan pasca terbitnya UU Cipta Kerja yang diberikan secara khusus kepada pekerja yang mengalami PHK. Program ini belum sepenuhnya berjalan karena adanya ketentuan minimal masa iur dan keaktifan peserta sebelum dapat mengajukan manfaat. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan memahami prospek pemberian JKP dalam melindungi pekerja yang mengalami PHK dan kesiapan badan penyelenggara dalam menyelenggarakan program JKP. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis empiris bersifat deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, prospek pemberian JKP belum sepenuhnya dapat melindungi pekerja yang mengalami PHK. Pengecekan kepesertaan program jaminan sosial sebagai persyaratan kepesertaan akan mengakibatkan banyak pekerja tidak berkesempatan atas program, manfaat uang tunai bernilai rendah dan tidak akan cukup untuk modal berusaha mandiri. Hampir satu tahun pasca peraturan pelaksanaan terbit, badan penyelenggara belum sepenuhnya siap menyelenggarakan program JKP, terlihat dari rendahnya tingkat pemahaman pekerja terhadap JKP, petunjuk teknis belum tersedia, serta sistem dan bimbingan SDM masih dalam proses.­­
