How to seal the strike and all its steps to follow

Practically the requirement to access and maintain all unemployment benefits in Spain it is the sellar unemployment every three months, on time, and keep the seal on the dates indicated on the card.

For anything you need to have your job application current in the state employment service of your autonomous community.

If you don't seal the strike, the penalties are varied. If you do not receive any benefits, they can unsubscribe you for a month from your state employment demand service, losing the seniority you have. If you receive a benefit, not sealing unemployment implies losing the total benefit, and running out of income.

Therefore, dear reader, it is necessary that you know well what do you need and how to seal the strike, so that you do not have any type of sanction and do not have surprises in the form of certified letters, the kind that nobody wants to receive, especially if you are unemployed.

What does it mean to seal the strike?

Well, we already know that everyone, unemployed, we must seal the strike, especially if we are receiving a subsidy.

To collect, for example, what is commonly known as unemployment, we must be unemployed, and for this, we are required to remain in an active job search.

This search can be done in any medium, but we are required to do it also from the employment service of our autonomous community.

It must, therefore, confirm, every three months, that the unemployment situation persists and that you want to renew your job search through the state.

Sealing unemployment is, therefore, confirming the situation of unemployment, and the active search for it.

It is a requirement for any subsidy or unemployment benefit.

When to seal unemployment

In the previous point we mentioned that the renewal of the job search is carried out quarterly.

You will be given a card with the dates you must stamp, and covers an entire calendar year.

You must stamp the strike on the exact day that appears on the card, neither before nor after.

You can only stamp on days other than the indicated date, if the day coincides with a holiday date; in that case, you can renew your claim the next business day.

How can I seal the strike

Fortunately, we have options to renew the demand for employment, and we do not depend on just one.

You can go personally to your employment office, according to your Autonomous Community.

Another option, the best for many, is the sealed by internet.
