You Can Apply for Unemployment Benefits in Muju Too!
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Go Dallyoung] Muju-gun, Jeonbuk, has been operating a ‘Visiting Mobile Consultation Office’ since April to handle employment-related civil complaints, which has received great responses from the complainants.
According to Muju-gun on the 12th, two staff members from the Jeonju Employment Welfare Plus Center are dispatched every Wednesday from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM within the Muju-gun Local JOB Center office space to provide services such as unemployment benefit applications and approvals, education, and Employment Success Package consultations.
Until now, complainants residing in Muju had to visit the Jeonju Employment Welfare Plus Center, which takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes from Muju, in person to apply for unemployment benefit-related services, causing inconvenience.
The number of unemployment benefit applicants registered in Muju last year was 489, with 2,635 cases and approximately 3.36 billion KRW in unemployment benefits paid. From April to June 10, a total of 247 cases were processed through the visiting Muju mobile consultation office, including 197 unemployment benefit cases and 50 Employment Success Package cases.
As a result, the operation of the visiting mobile consultation office in Muju has not only eliminated the inconvenience of complainants having to travel far to Jeonju but also reduced their time and economic burdens.
Earlier, in April, Muju-gun signed a business agreement with the Jeonju Employment and Labor Office to reduce the burden on employment and job-related complainants, leading to the opening of the ‘Visiting Mobile Consultation Office’ in the Muju area.
