Offices for claiming unemployment benefit in Spain

Book with the benefits office that covers your address

Claims in person are handled by the benefits offices of SEPE, the state employment service, and you attend the one assigned when you book. Pick a city to see what each office does, how to arrange a visit and what to have ready. Registering as a jobseeker is a separate step, often done with a different regional office.
