What the ads say
Income plus employment services for people who struggle to find work.
How it actually works
Type I gives a ₩500K/mo job-seeking allowance (up to ₩900K with dependents) for 6 months alongside employment-support services. It's for low-income job seekers aged 15–69 (income/asset criteria) — mid-life, career-break, and youth can all apply. You must carry out set job-seeking activities (counseling, training, applications) to keep the allowance.
⚠ Traps
- •Income/asset criteria and carrying out job activities are required (the allowance stops if you don't)
- •Allowance and services differ by type (I/II)
- •There's a selection and contract process after applying, so it's not paid immediately
✓ Good for
- · Low-income mid-life, youth, and career-break job seekers
- · Job seekers not eligible for unemployment benefits
✗ Not for
- · Those exceeding the income/asset criteria
- · Those unable to carry out job-seeking activities
