How to apply
Now that you’ve figured out your eligibility for daily worker unemployment benefits, let’s look at how to apply.

For 14 days after leaving the company, register for a job on WorkNet and watch online training videos to apply for benefits.
Bring your ID card and visit the employment center 14 days after leaving the company.
If you are recognized as eligible for benefits, apply for unemployment recognition by visiting the provided center or online.

Of course, you will need data to prove this, so be sure to check how you can prove it after the activity you want to do.
