Step by step

  • 1

    Register as a job seeker at your regional employment service

    Go to official site

    First, register as a job seeker in the public employment service of Castilla y León. You can do this online in most autonomous communities. This registration generates the DARDE card you need to apply for unemployment benefits.

    Expert tip

    "Register on the same day as you stop working or within a few days. The first missed day of contribution is money that will not be paid."

    Apply for unemployment benefits via SEPE (online recommended)

    Go to official site

    You have 15 business days from the end of employment to apply without losing any days. Apply online in the SEPE e-Sede, by phone (900 818 018, free), or at your local SEPE office.

    Expert tip

    "The online process is fastest. Identify with Cl@ve PIN (free) or digital certificate."

    Attach the company certificate

    SEPE needs the company certificate to calculate your base salary. If you do not have it yet, SEPE will request it directly from the company. Do not wait — apply for unemployment benefits even without the certificate.

    !

    Expert tip

    "Check that the company certificate accurately reflects the reason for leaving (dismissal, end of contract, voluntary departure...). The reason affects whether you are entitled to receive unemployment benefits."

    Renew job demand card monthly

    Go to official site

    Once your application is approved, you must renew your job demand card (DARDE) monthly online or at your local SEPE office. If you do not, your allowance may be suspended.

    !

    Expert tip

    "Set reminders in the SEPE app to avoid missing monthly renewals. The exact date depends on when you registered as a job seeker."

Frequently asked questions

How long do I have to apply for unemployment benefits?
You have 15 business days from the end of employment. If you miss this deadline, you will lose the days that have passed. For example, if you wait 10 business days to apply, you will lose 10 days of benefit.
How much do I get in unemployment benefits 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 the last 180 working days' contributions. There are minimum and maximum limits.
How many unemployment days am I entitled to?
It depends on your contribution days in the past six years. With 360 contribution days, you are entitled to 120 days of unemployment. The maximum is 720 days (two years) if you have contributed for 2,160 days or more.
Can I claim unemployment benefits if I left voluntarily?
Generally, no. Voluntary departure does not qualify for the contributory unemployment allowance. You may be eligible for a jobseeker's subsidy in some special cases (domestic violence, illness, care of family member). Consult with SEPE about your specific situation.
Can I work while receiving unemployment benefits?
Yes, but there are conditions. You can combine part-time work and unemployment benefit (the amount is reduced proportionally). You may also capitalize the unemployment benefit to become self-employed. If you work full-time without informing SEPE, your allowance will be withdrawn and you might have to repay it.
