Practically the requirement to enter and maintain all unemployment benefits in Spain it is the sellar unemployment every three months, on time and keep the stamp on the dates indicated on the card.
No reason requires to have your job application updated in the state employment service of your autonomous community.
If you don't seal the stoppage, the penalties are varied. If you do not receive any benefits, you can cancel your subscription for a month to the job application service in your state, losing your seniority. If you receive a benefit, not sealing unemployment means losing the total benefit and running out of income.
That is why, dear reader, you need to know well what do you need and how to seal the strike, so that you do not have any type of sanction and do not have surprises in the form of certified letters, the kind that nobody wants to receive, especially if you are unemployed.
What does it mean to seal the strike?
Well, we already know that everyone, unemployed, we must seal the strike, especially if we are receiving a subsidy.
To collect, by way of example, what is commonly known as unemployment, we must be unemployed, and for this, we are forced to remain in an active job search.
This search can be carried out in any medium, but we are obliged to do it also from the employment service of our autonomous community.
Therefore, it must confirm, every three months, that the unemployment situation persists and you want to renew your job search across the state.
Sealing the unemployment is, therefore, confirming the situation of the unemployment and its active search.
It is a requirement for any subsidy or unemployment benefit.
When to seal unemployment
In the previous point we mentioned that the renewal of the job search is carried out quarterly.
You will be given a card with the dates you must stamp, and covers a full calendar year.
You must stamp the strike on the exact day that appears on the card, not before or after.
You can only stamp on days other than the date indicated, if the day coincides with a holiday date; in that case, you can renew your claim the next business day.
How can I seal the strike?
Fortunately, we have options to renew the job demand and we do not depend on just one.
Can go personally to your employment office, according to your Autonomous Community.
Another alternative, the best for many, is the sealed by internet.
Both are valid.
Seal the strike at the employment office
The option that has always been used, and the most traditional, is basically to go to the employment office in your town or city.
Basically you must bring your job renewal card, They will stamp you by presenting it to the respective employment agency.
Even though in principle it is not necessary to go by appointment, it should be reviewed, because each Autonomous Community has its own independent employment service, and in large cities you may have to go by appointment.
You should also check the schedule, in many autonomous communities the renewal of unemployment is done from 9 to 10.30 hours only.
At the same time as your job application card, you must bring your valid ID, NIE or passport, or the authorization to renew your residence permit.
The advantage is that you have a physical receipt for your renewal.Either with a printed sheet that you have applied for renewal or a stamp on your job application card.
Seal the stoppage by phone
We have not mentioned it, because it is an exception.
In Canary Islands and Balearic Islands the renewal of the job application is available by phone. It is as simple as calling 012.
Remember that it is only for the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands, that is why we have not mentioned it as a feasible method of job renewal for any autonomous community other than these two.
Call 012, confirm the information requested and you will receive an SMS confirming the renewal of your job application. Subsequently, the application can be downloaded online.
To be able to do this, you must live in the Balearic or Canary Islands and call the SOIB number from a number that is not hidden.
Seal the internet strike
The most comfortable, fast and recommended way is to seal the online strike. The advantage it offers is undoubtedly that it saves you the trip to the employment office, the queues and the time that you could lose between the entire trip and the procedure.
Another advantage is that you can renew your job application from 00:00 hours on the day you must seal the strike, and ends at 23:59. At the same time, you can stamp your unemployment card from anywhere in Spain, and it generates a file that you can and must print, which will be the legal proof of your unemployment renewal.
