Difference between job-seeking allowance and unemployment benefits
The job-seeking allowance is paid to an unemployed person during the period in which they actively look for work in order to be re-employed.
Unemployment benefits, on the other hand, are paid by the state to workers who have lost their jobs, and are divided into the job-seeking allowance and the employment promotion allowance.
In other words, unemployment benefits are a broader concept than the job-seeking allowance, and what people commonly call unemployment benefits usually refers to the job-seeking allowance.
