The job application is a key document to be able to collect unemployment or any of the subsidies paid by the SEPE (State Public Employment Service) to the unemployed and that must be renewed as long as the workers remain in the same legal situation as unemployment.
Just like obtaining the job demand card, the renewal of said card means that the worker, in the eyes of the SEPE, continues to be registered as a job seeker. This, in practice, means that the worker is considered a job seeker.
The SEPE states that the method of renewing the demand for employment is no longer automatic in many autonomous communities. This is due to the fact that, with the improvement of the epidemiological situation due to the coronavirus pandemic, the demand for employment that was imposed after the confinement of March 2020 due to the fact that the attention in the SEPE offices was suppressed.
However, this return to the traditional model has not been homogeneous, since it has depended on each autonomous community. In mid-2021, several regions chose to cancel the automatic renewal of the claim (), and given the possibility of confusion, the SEPE recommends that citizens contact “your regional employment service to find out what procedure they have established in connection with the renewal”.
The SEPE, at its Electronic Office, has the ‘Demand procedures’ service, which facilitates access to the services of each autonomous community in the ‘Access your Autonomous Community’ section. By ‘clicking’ on your corresponding community, you will be able to carry out the procedures that that administration allows (). Access to this online processing of the job application can be obtained by means of a digital certificate () or electronic DNI.
If the citizen resides in the cities of Ceuta or Melilla, they can renew the job application online and through the ‘My application procedures’ service. There they can not only renew it, but also register as plaintiffs, obtain a duplicate of the lawsuit…
Citizens can also choose to renew in person at the SEPE office that corresponds to their residence. To do this, something you can do by calling 91 273 83 84 for 24-hour service. The organization has a website on its website that is also useful.
In addition, the SEPE allows you to obtain an appointment through its Electronic Office, in the ‘Request an appointment to be attended by the SEPE’ service, with a digital certificate, electronic ID or . You can also make an appointment by filling out a pre-application form available on the SEPE website.
