The Ministry of Employment and Labor will review the eligibility by verifying the applicant’s employment or start-up status after the application is completed, and notify the results by mid-next month. If the applicant is not eligible, the reasons will also be provided.

For more details, inquiries can be made to the Online Youth Center or the Ministry of Employment and Labor Customer Service Center.
