In the process of processing dossiers, the Center focuses on guiding employees to complete procedures, ensuring the receipt and settlement of benefits in accordance with regulations.

In the first 6 months of the year, 100% of dossiers were resolved in accordance with regulations, for the right subjects and on time. The unit did not record any feedback or recommendations related to the receipt and settlement of unemployment benefits.

In addition to paying allowances, the Center strengthens counseling and job introduction for workers.

The unit organized 2 conferences to propagate unemployment insurance policies, consult, introduce jobs and 5 job transaction sessions in communes for workers receiving unemployment benefits.

Organizing job transaction sessions at the grassroots level helps workers in areas far from the center have more opportunities to access recruitment information, understand the needs of businesses and choose suitable jobs, while reducing travel time and costs.

Through counseling and job introduction activities, unemployment insurance policies are implemented in conjunction with supporting workers to find new job opportunities.

Through this, workers have more information about the labor market, recruitment needs and conditions to return to work soon after losing their jobs.
