Default Claiming unemployment benefit in Spain

Hi there,

I have been working and living in Spain for almost 3 years now. I voluntarily left my job at the end of April, as I left voluntarily I'm not entitled to the paro, I understand?

I am working a 2 week job in July and would I be able to claim paro after that? I'm a bit worried because it's a 'temporary contract' that I won't be entitled to any unemployment benefit and I'll have to seriously struggle financially until I find a job come September/October.

Really appreciate any help and setting my mind at ease.

Have a great day

Was the first job a legal contract job, and is the new one, without a legal contract you won't qualify in any case.

Yes, both legal contracts. Have only worked legal contracts for last three years.

if you have a legal temporary contract you should be able to claim something once it ends provided you do not leave voluntarily
Qué es estar en “situación legal de desempleo”?

Significa “estar parado”. La ley solo permite pedir el paro en situaciones muy concretas. Hay que encontrarse sin trabajo por alguna de estas razones: un despido (individual o colectivo), fin de un contrato temporal o en periodo de pruebas,

Hi and a warm welcome to the Spanish forum on BE. Myself and Fred James are the moderators for the Spanish forums whilst BEVS moderates Europe. Moderators are there to ensure that the site runs smoothly within the rules of BE.

That puts my mind at rest a bit, thank you so much.

Although, as it just states 'despido', could I be entitled to it from now?


Ps Thank you for the welcome also, not sure how to double quote!
