Applicants for unemployment benefits must submit applications electronically within 30 days

The resolution mandates that unemployment benefit applicants must submit their requests electronically, in accordance with Royal Decree-Law 5/2026 and Article 37 thereof. This change aims to modernize the procedure and accelerate benefit recognition, especially in regions affected by natural disasters. Electronic submissions are made through the Employment Public Service administrative system (Art. 37 of RDL 5/2026).
