At December I was at labor bureau in Taipei.
They told me even I have APRC i cant get the unemployment benefits, because I am not a Taiwanese and I am not married with a Taiwanese.

What was the catch?
They really give foreigners on marriage based ARCā€™s EI checks?

#36

So if youā€™re married itā€™s good to go?

#37

Have you get the unemployment benefits ?

#38

No, Iā€™m just curious if foreigners are actually capable of receiving it.

#39

What is an EI check?

Iā€™m a foreigner and I did receive it. So the answer would be yes!

EI = Employment Insurance

Youā€™re married to a Taiwanese, right?

Yes, I am!
But as I mentioned before, I believe this benefit is also extended to APRC holders

#42

So are non married APRC holders eligible or not?

#43

I think no. Not yet.

#44

Bastardsā€¦

#45

There is also divorced APRC holders, thatā€™s even another category

#46

Right

#47

There should at least be some kind of reparations for having survived a Taiwanese marriage. :sunglasses:

Waitā€¦ What? Why?

Donā€™t the APRC holders also pay 勞äæ (laobao)? Isnā€™t the å¤±ę„­ (shiye) included in it?
