Job-seeking benefit: daily floor at eight hours
₩66,048KRW per day
The floor is derived, not announced: hourly minimum wage x 8 hours x 80%. It moves every January with the minimum wage. A claimant on fewer scheduled hours has a different, lower floor, so this figure is not a universal minimum.
- Applies to
- Claimants whose relevant scheduled working day was eight hours — not part-timers
- Review cadence
- Checked once a year
