받는날 - 실업급여 계산기·실업인정일 관리

Calculating unemployment benefits is not the end of the process.

Even if you know how much and for how many days you will receive, to actually receive the money, you must be certified as unemployed on a designated date and complete job search activities by then. The required number of activities varies for each round, and if you miss an appointment even once, you will not receive benefits for that round.

"Receiving Day" is an app that helps you with the rest of the process.

■ First, Am I Eligible?

Many people give up, thinking, "I quit, so I probably won't qualify." However, Appendix 2 of the Enforcement Rules of the Employment Insurance Act lists over twenty cases where you can receive benefits even if you resigned voluntarily.

Select your situation, and we will determine which category applies to you.

- Unpaid wages, wages below the minimum wage, working conditions different from those at the time of hiring, excessive overtime work

- Workplace harassment, sexual harassment, unfair discrimination

- Cases where commuting time exceeds 3 hours one way due to workplace relocation or transfer

- Cases where work cannot continue due to illness, injury, pregnancy, childbirth, childcare, or caring for a family member

- Expiration of contract, retirement age, restructuring, bankruptcy, or business closure

We do not simply issue a ruling. We show you the relevant legal provisions and inform you of the documents you need to prepare. This is so you can present them at the employment center.

We also pinpoint the exact conditions. For example, unpaid wages must have lasted for "at least 2 months within one year prior to the date of leaving employment." Commuting difficulties refer to a 3-hour one-way trip, not a round trip. For illness or caregiving, there must be a record of having requested leave from the company and been denied. We ensure that you do not end up returning home after relying on explanations that omit these specific details.

■ Will the "180 days within 18 months" rule remain the same for me?

It might not be.

If you have had a period of 30 days or more during which you did not receive pay due to illness, injury, company closure, pregnancy, childbirth, parental leave, family caregiving, military service, or unfair dismissal, the period is extended by that amount. It can be up to a maximum of 3 years. If you worked less than 15 hours a week, the standard is 24 months.

Also, 180 days is not 6 months. Since only paid days are counted, unpaid holidays are excluded. If you worked 5 days a week, you usually need to work for over 7 months to meet the requirement.

If you have received unemployment benefits before, the period prior to that is not included in this calculation. This is why the argument "I paid for 10 years" does not work.

■ Next, how much and for how many days will I receive?

I have five more questions. How you quit, the number of days you worked during the 18 months prior to changing jobs, how long you have been enrolled in employment insurance, whether you are over 50 years old, and your monthly salary before quitting.

- Calculates the daily unemployment benefit amount by applying the upper and lower limits.

- Precisely determines the designated benefit days based on age and enrollment period (from 120 to 270 days).

- If you do not meet the requirements, we will inform you of the steps you need to take first.

We do not overload the screen with input fields. We ask you one question at a time, explaining why we are asking.

■ Next, managing payment rounds

You only need to enter the single date your eligibility was recognized, and the app will calculate the rest.

- How many rounds it is divided into, and when the unemployment certification date is for each round

- How many days are left until the next certification date

- How many job search activities are required for that round and how many remain

- Whether it is a round that requires attendance (Online applications are not available for the 1st and 4th rounds)

- The number of days received so far, the remaining days, and the remaining amount

You simply need to click on it every time you perform a job search activity. When you open the app again, the first screen will change to "Round 3 in progress · D-4 until next certification · 1 job search activity remaining."

■ Receive half of your remaining benefits if you find employment early

This is the Early Re-employment Allowance. If you find re-employment with more than half of your designated benefit days remaining, you will receive half of your remaining unemployment benefits.

If you keep track of your rounds, "How much if you get a job now" will continuously appear on the home screen. This amount decreases as you complete each round. This means that the sooner you find employment, the more you will receive.

We also point out conditions that are easy to overlook in advance. You must find employment 14 days after filing for unemployment, you must not return to your previous company, and you are not eligible if you had already secured a job offer prior to filing. You must work continuously for at least 12 months after re-employment to be confirmed.

■ Upper and lower limits change annually.

Therefore, we have not built them into the app. We retrieve the latest standards once a day. If you do not have internet access, the app uses the last received value, and if the standards are outdated, the app will automatically notify you.

■ We have not included reductions for repeated benefits.

There are rumors circulating that if you receive benefits three or more times within five years, your pay will be cut by up to half. This is not yet a law. It was submitted to the National Assembly in 2021 but was discarded due to the expiration of the term; it has been resubmitted in 2024, but there is no set effective date.

I believe that reducing the amount based on a non-existent law is the worst possible solution. Therefore, we have completely excluded it from the calculations and only show you what happens if it passes on a separate "Announced Reform" screen. If it is actually passed, it will be reflected within one day, so you do not need to download the app again.

■ For Those Who

- Those who are looking into it just in case, even though they think they might not be eligible because they resigned voluntarily

- Those who are confused about how long their contribution period counts due to frequent job changes

- Those who resigned this month and are looking into unemployment benefits

- Those who have applied but are confused about what to do next

- Those who keep forgetting when their unemployment certification date was

- Those who have missed counting how many job search activities they have performed

- Those who want to know how many eligible benefit days they have and how much is left

■ Notice

This app is an unofficial reference calculator. It is not affiliated with the government or any public institution. Eligibility, actual payment amounts, unemployment certification dates, and job search requirements are all determined by the review and guidance of the Employment Center. If the information you received differs from the app's calculations, the information you received is correct.

The job search requirements for long-term recipients, repeat recipients, and those aged 60 or older differ from those of general recipients. Since these criteria are not publicly available, we have not fabricated them for this app. Please follow your eligibility requirements and the instructions provided during the first training session.
