Workers who lose their jobs involuntarily after having been employed for at least one year are eligible for benefits. Those who lose their jobs and wish to claim benefits are required to register with a public-sector job-placement organization. They begin to receive unemployment payments after 14 days if they have not yet found a new job and have not arranged job training.
失業勞工只要符合投保滿一年及「非自願離職」等條件，向公立就業服務機構辦理求職登記起，14 日內仍無法順利就業或安排職訓者，就可以開始領取「失業給付」。
