How much and how long
Korea's jobseeker benefit is daily benefit × benefit days. The daily amount is 60% of your average wage, floored at 66,048 KRW (80% of minimum wage × 8h) and capped at 68,100 KRW for 2026.
Benefit days run 120 to 270 by age and insured period: under 50 gets 120–240 days, while 50+ or disabled gets 120–270. Voluntary resignation or dismissal for serious misconduct is generally not eligible; the employment center makes the final call. See the severance calculator or salary calculator.
