Self-Employed Employment Insurance Subsidy: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how self-employed individuals in South Korea can receive subsidies to help cover their employment insurance premiums.

This scheme provides financial support to help cover the cost of insurance premiums for people running their own businesses.

Who it's for

This is for self-employed individuals who have already enrolled in the voluntary employment insurance program.

What you get

You can receive subsidies to help pay for your insurance premiums. This support helps ensure you have coverage for unemployment benefits if your business circumstances change.

  2. Visit the official employment insurance portal.
  3. Submit your application for the premium subsidy.
