The payments extend for a maximum of six months from the date on which the worker became unemployed. As an incentive for workers to seek new employment, those who find new work within six months receive a lump sum equal to 50 % of any benefits as yet unpaid.
為鼓勵失業勞工及早就業，對於未領滿 6 個月就找到新工作者，還准予一次領取剩餘金額的 5 成，作為「提早就業獎金」。
