Only the follow-up applications of those who are fully unemployed will be processed as soon as possible. Due to the large number of applications arriving at the turn of the month, the fund cannot guarantee that all of the application of fully unemployed persons can be processed on the day of arrival.

All other applications, such as the first application and follow-up application with working days, will be processed within two weeks of their arrival.
