Step by step

  • 1

    Register as a job seeker at your regional employment service

    Go to official site

    First, register as a job seeker at the Aragon regional employment service. You can do this online in most autonomous communities. This registration generates the DARDE card you need to apply for unemployment benefit.

    Expert tip

    "Register on the same day as leaving your job or within a few days. The first contribution day lost is money you won't receive."

    Apply for unemployment benefit online (recommended)

    Go to official site

    Submit company certificate

    SEPE needs the company certificate to calculate your base salary. If the company hasn't given it to you, SEPE will request it directly. Don't wait — apply for unemployment even if you don't have the certificate yet.

    !

    Expert tip

    "Check that the company certificate correctly reflects the reason for termination (layoff, end of contract, voluntary departure...). The reason affects whether you are entitled to receive unemployment benefit."

  • 4

    Renew employment demand monthly

    Go to official site

    Once the benefit is granted, you must renew your employment demand (DARDE) monthly, online or at your SEPE office. If you don't do it, they may suspend the benefit.

    !

    Expert tip

    "Activate reminders in the SEPE app to not forget the monthly renewal. The exact date depends on when you registered as a job seeker."

Frequently asked questions

How much time do I have to apply for unemployment?
You have 15 working days from the end of employment. If you miss this deadline, you will lose those days. For example, if you wait 10 working days to apply, you will lose 10 days of benefit.
How much money does unemployment benefit pay in 2026?
For the first 180 days, you receive 70% of your base salary. From day 181 onwards, 60%. The base salary is calculated on the average of your contribution bases over the last 180 working days. There is a minimum and maximum amount.
How many unemployment benefit days am I entitled to?
It depends on the number of contribution days in the last six years. With 360 contribution days, you are entitled to 120 days of unemployment benefit. The maximum is 720 days (two years) if you have contributed for 2,160 days or more.
Can I claim unemployment benefit if I left my job voluntarily?
Generally, no. Voluntary departure does not qualify for contributory unemployment benefit. You may be eligible for a special hardship allowance in some cases (gender-based violence, illness, care of a family member). Consult SEPE about your specific situation.
Can I work while claiming unemployment benefits?
Yes, but with conditions. You can combine part-time employment with the benefit (the amount is reduced proportionally). You may also capitalize the benefit to become self-employed. If you work full-time without notifying SEPE, your benefit will be stopped and you might have to repay it.
