Within two years after leaving the employment separation and withdrawal from employment insurance, the insured person is required to submit the employment separation certificate or fixed-term contract, national ID or other proof of identity to a public employment agency in person to register for job seeking, apply for unemployment confirmation, accept employment counseling, as well as fill out the unemployment confirmation statement, unemployment benefit application form and benefit receipt.
After accepting registration for job seeking, the public employment agency shall conduct employment counseling and make arrangements for job seeking or vocational training. When failing to make job seeking or vocational training arrangements within 14 days, the public employment agency shall issue a letter of unemployment confirmation the next day and request the insurer to issue unemployment benefits.
The employment separation certificate described in Paragraph 1 refers to a certificate issued by the insured unit or the competent authority of the direct city or county/city. In the event that acquisition of the said certificate proves difficult, at the consent of the public employment agency, a written statement may be accepted.
The certificate or written statement described in the preceding paragraph shall carry the name of the applicant, the title of the insured unit, and the reason of employment separation.
An applicant failing to produce the document prescribed in Paragraph 1 shall turn in the required document within seven days. Otherwise, the application shall be deemed invalid.

In order to meet the requirements of recommending employment and vocational training, the Public Employment Service Institution requires the applicant to produce the following documentation:
1.Copies of the highest attainted educational diploma and documented work experience.
2.Copies of specialist vocational or technical skill certificates.
3.Copies of certificates from previously completed vocational training programs.

Within seven days of the day the Public Employment Service Institution recommends employment, the applicant should submit the reply card for employment to the Public Employment Service Institution.
If an applicant does not conduct the above, the Public Employment Service Institution shall stop processing the current unemployment certificate. If the certificate has already been processed, it shall be cancelled.

In the event that a person failed to find work after vocational training is completed, the vocational training institution shall request the public employment agency to issue a letter of unemployment confirmation. If the said person has not made the unemployment benefit claim or has not yet received unemployment benefits for the maximum period allowed, the vocational training institution shall also request the insurer to issue the remaining unemployment benefits the said person is entitled to according to the benefit payment period regulation of Article 16.

An individual continues to take unemployment benefits is required to go to a public employment agency in person every month for reconfirmation of the unemployment status within the two years starting on the day after the end of the first unemployment benefit payment period. People currently under medical treatment and unable to attend in person may submit a certificate from a medical institution as well as a written statement and delegate someone else to process the above procedure.
An individual without employment status confirmation by a public employment agency shall cease unemployment benefits.

When a person receiving unemployment benefit applies for unemployment recertification, he/she must provide at least two records of seeking job before he/she can continue to claim. A person who cannot provide a record of seeking employment must correct within seven days. If the documents are not properly revised before the prescribed period, his/her unemployment benefit will be ceased

If a person has other additional income while he/she is unemployed or receiving unemployment benefit, he/she should inform the Public Employment Service Institution when applying for an unemployment certificate or processing unemployment re-certification.

A person receiving unemployment benefit should inform the Public Employment Service Institution within three days of becoming reemployed.
