The Administration is characterized by advancing by taking small and slow steps in terms of technology and customer service. Luckily, you can apply for unemployment benefit directly from the web. We can forget the long and endless lines at the SEPE office to request the “strike.”

The unemployment benefit is a right that all workers have. It is an economic compensation to which you are entitled when we meet certain requirements. Among them, the most important is having been working for a minimum period or having duly paid Social Security contributions. Depending on the amounts quoted, whether you are employed or self-employed (self-employed), the amount of the benefit is calculated.

How to register with SEPE

The first step we must take to request an online strike is to have discharged in the SEPE (State Public Employment Service) and to be registered as a job seeker in the corresponding regional employment service. If it is the first time that we carry out this procedure, it is necessary to physically go to the corresponding SEPE office to be able to identify ourselves correctly.

This procedure can be done either by physically going to the SEPE office that corresponds to you according to your habitual residence or from the Electronic Office.

How to proceed when you find work

The rule in practice is that registering with Social Security when you sign a new employment contract automatically cancels unemployment benefit to which you were entitled. It is important to check at the electronic office or by calling the SEPE customer service that this process has been carried out correctly. Collecting unemployment benefit when you have a full-time employment contract in force is a serious crime.

Full-time work for someone else

If the period of the employment contract is less than 360 days

You should know that you have the possibility of resume rendering for unemployment that you were collecting before working. For this, the procedure is the same as in the initial application.

If the work period is equal to 360 days or more

You can request the resumption of the unemployment benefit to which you were previously entitled and accumulate the rights acquired with that new job, or request a new one that corresponds to the total accumulated rights.

Self-employment (Self-Employed Workers Scheme)

In the event that you have been working for someone else and when you finish you decide to start and work on your own as a self-employed person, you have two options to access unemployment benefit. Despite returning to work, the Administration considers that when it is self-employed, there is not enough income to face a minimally decent quality of life. That is why you can request the collection of the entire benefit in a single payment, which is known as capitalize on unemployment. Depending on the working hours involved in the new project, we can choose 100% or a part of the monthly benefit to make it compatible with our work.

Part-time work for someone else

In this case we have the possibility of lay off unemployment benefit or make it compatible until completing the part corresponding to the full-time shift. By default, the unemployment benefit is suspended, so in the case of wanting to make it compatible with the new job, we must contact the SEPE and request it in the same way that the new registration is requested.
