Apply for Unemployment Benefits

You apply for unemployment benefits through the online platform Vangin.

You will be registered as unemployed on the date when ALS receives your application, so it is important to apply for unemployment benefits as soon as possible.

It is recommended to submit the application even if documents are missing. Missing documents must then be submitted through Vangin within 14 days.
