According to the regulations prescribed in the Lao-Dong-Bao 1-Zi No. 1030140456 announced by the Ministry of Labor on January 15, 2015, working seniority is calculated according to the insurance coverage seniority starting from when the applicant completes one's first-time unemployment status examination and qualifies for unemployment benefits. However, the seniority for those who participated in employment insurance after being hired again to a job during the unemployment benefit period is excluded.
For example: The applicant registered for a job and applied for unemployment benefits on March 20, the public employment service agency completed the unemployment certification on April 3, and the period for applying for unemployment benefits was from April 3 to May 2. The applicant was re-employed and participated in employment insurance on April 24. The years of re-employment and insurance should be calculated from May 3. The applicant can only apply for early employment subsidy on August 3, the day after August 2, which is 3 months later.
