Receiving unemployment benefits

• Even if you do not actually receive income, you must report any work activities during the unemployment recognition period (including all income activities on POSTYPE such as publishing paid posts).
• If you do not report such activities and unemployment benefits are paid as scheduled, the relevant authority may determine this as fraudulent receipt and you may face disadvantages.
• Employment Insurance unemployment benefit guide explains the following:
  • Q. During the unemployment recognition period, do I have to report if I get a job, provide labor, or receive income?
  • A. Yes. During the unemployment recognition period, you must report if you provide daily labor at construction sites or elsewhere, get hired as a worker, register as a business operator and run a business, or receive income by attending meetings, doing translation, etc. If you fail to report and it is later discovered, it will be considered fraudulent receipt and you may be subject to disadvantages such as an additional collection of twice the overpaid amount. For reference, to prevent fraudulent receipt, the Ministry operates an automatic warning system for fraudulent receipt in connection with the four major social insurances and the National Tax Service information system.
